Looking for a bike for my wife, she likes the look of the Beone Nirvana 2.0 from ChainReaction. I looked at the Spesh FSR XC for about the same price (£979) but was put off by the custom rear shock size. I’ve got a Commencal Super 4.2 and suggested the Commencal Combi S (same frame, £750 from Merlin) but she doesn’t like the colour and wants different to me.

Any comments/advice?

Mate of mine bought just the frame last week & its very nice – welds look superb & the machined parts are finished well, but knowing him it’ll be lucky to turn a wheel in anger this year!
