After having taken part in BBF my mate has got bitten by the mountain biking bug again and is looking to upgrade his bike. Personally I don't know what he's worrying about, it wasn't his rear brake caliper that fell off!
He's been eyeing up a couple of hard tails, a Cannondale Flash Carbon 4 or Specialized Stump jumper Comp Carbon.
Clearly the budget is around the 2k mark, so what other bikes with a similar use in mind does the STW hive mind recommend. I'm guessing there would be some interesting short travel FS at this price point?
Any help appreciated.
Matt
