Demotivated and distracted today at work so I need something to help me through the afternoon. Thinking of buying a new bike seems like a pleasant way to while away the time before I can ride home for the day.
So... I would like a light (say 25lb) 120mm trail bike. Currently I can only think of a Trek Fuel. Any other suggestions? There must be loads.

Canyon Nerve XC for sheer VfM
I thought Scott Sparks are 100mm not 120 ?

Yes! A Yeti. Mmm. Or a Santa Cruz. Why are these almost all American bikes?
I think the Whyte and the Cannondale are on the lardy side, no?Posted 10 months ago # -
Yeti ASRc jumped to my mind, yeah.

Scott sparks were 110mm in 2011 but for 2012 are going up to 120mm. They looks awesome and the 2011 spark 20 i rode for a few weeks was great fun. It climbed like an absolute wippet but it was in the singletrack that it really felt at home, it was like a 4x bike.
I did run it with a 65mm stem and 730mm bars as per all my bikes.
I am ordering a 2012 as soon as they become availiable

+1 to the 2012 Spark 26-er 120mm, looks ace.
SC Superlight as another suggestion, this gets asked quite a lot lately, have a search for the other threadsPosted 10 months ago # -
For the last few years the Spark has come with 120mm forks but as you say with 110mm out the back,
Do look at a Cube Sting though!

A Spark would be nice but that Liteville looks wunderbar! Not heard of them before. Are they generally a good thing?

have a search on here, they are supposed to be very good and very adaptable, some-one posted a link one to a German 'picture/spec' thread with around 100 pages...
