Here is a nice looking 60cm 650b Pelican.

I think 60cm 650b looks good on all the bikes discussed here, but there is 
a point, at ~62-63cm when the head tubes gets so large that things look a 
bit out of proportion to my eye. Having said that it's difficult to put an 
particular number on it because I think the bend of the fork influences the 
look too, e.g. some of the larger MAP's  still look nice. There is a 65cm 
his flkr recently.
I've read about the downsides of long head tubes for frame flex. Maybe 
that's part of the reason Grant likes the DTT.
