    or maybe pick somewhere you haven’t ridden before and you have £70 fuel to get there 🙂

    A skills day. It will make more of a difference to your riding than pretty much any upgrade based on your spec. Massively more.

    Another vote for Controltech…some real bargains on them (CRC) and they`re probably as good as a Thompson. Or buy a Easton EC70 available at knock down price (or was ) at Merlin. For what it is worth I do think a seatpost makes a difference to HT comfort, have just swopped a solid alloy post to an EC 70 on my Cotic Bfe and think I can feel more comfort from it, less jarring.
    Leaving posts aside what about a RH XTR shifter? fabulous shifting perforamnce upgrade over XT etc

    + whatever it’s up to for a skills course.

    or put it to a hotel somewhere near a place you’d love to ride and make a weekend of it.

    5) skills course (can be substituted for an enthusiastic Canadian guy shouting “speed it your friend” “dont go over the bars on this next bit” IME )

    I doubt you’d get to switch-backs for 70gbp unless you were already in Spain with your bike, but it certainly made a difference to my riding.
