2.spesh enduro expert
3.commencal meta 5
4.trek fuel
5.(this space is reserved for you lot)
Want to spend about £1500-£1800.but like the look and the spec on the marin though or is that wrong
Help me stw your my only hope

All good bikes. Try them. Most of the advice you’ll get will be “get one like mine” anyway.

I was in a similar position myself about a year ago; got back into biking after 10 years climbing. For me it depends on what type and where yu will be riding. I got a turner spot cos its the bike i always wanted before i could afford it. If your a big lad and prefer the downs to the ups i thought the spesh was a good bike ( the only one of the list ive ridden also). I have also heard good things about the meta 5 but never even seen one .
Good luck

Thats why i need a loneg travel bike ,i think.
