    Yes something like a 2014 Giant trance of this http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1868256/

    might be worth considering a nukeproof mega?

    If you would take 26″ they’d be some great options.

    There was a YT wicked pro on here the other week loaded with bos suss great condition for £1k.

    A higher spec 26″ will be better than a lower spec 27.5″ IMO.

    Probably, if you’re prepared to wait for the ideal spec full bike, or collect the bits slowly yourself. I built a nice spec Niner full suss for about that a couple of years ago. The Trigger is hard to resist, new and warranteed at that price though, and you can always add a dropper and tweak the spec over time.

    The seller of this may be tempted at a £1,000 offer 😉

    I should think he would given he’s asking close to what he paid for it (and not some mythical rrp) when CRC were clearing out 2 year old stock of a bankrupt brand…

    If you need to tick every box then maybe a collection only sale on ebay could deliver the goods.

    Realistically I think you’ll probably have to show a bit of flexibility. And that’s probably a good idea anyway, choose the right frame not the cheapest one.

    There’s a meta in the classifieds that fits that bill, if you’re xl
