Looking for a new 29er. XC use no jumps or drops. I’m 6’3″ so I’m going to be needing something big, with a long top tube. Maximum budget is £500 So far I’ve seen the:
On-one Parkwood
Surly Karate Monkey
Salsa El Mariachi
Singular Swift
Kinesis FF29
Any other ideas?
Please don’t try to sell me anything.

Charge Cooker, best bike I’ve ever owned.

I’ve just bought an on one lurcher and it is very nice for the money.

On-one is selling off Lurcher frames on eBay nice and cheap. I have the Scandal, which the Lurcher’s geometry is a direct copy of. It’s pretty damn awesome, if a bit ugly. Lurcher may be less ugly, depending on your taste. £279 last time I checked.
