£1100 budget.

hardtail.

slack-ish HA

120-140mm fork

will be needed for all biking duties as I'm on a one bike restriction at the moment.

My two options so far are Whyte 901 or an orange crush.

both similar geometry, Whyte has a bolt through fork which I like the idea of. orange looks like lots of fun. Whyte looks a little more versatile (for planned enduros next year)

not convinced I'll keep up the laborious Fox maintenance schedule.

or am I missingsomething?

before you suggest, I'm not after a summer season or a 456.

thanks in anticipation!

🙂
