    New nukeproof mega or a 2nd hand Ibis hd

    Not a bad place to be but still a tough one

    What your thoughts chaps ?

    Looking at buying and then racing 160 / 150 travel enduro bike and both of these hit the mark
    The mega is about a pound and smidge heavier than the HD
    But the head angles are close, give or take a degree

    The problem I have is to buy new mega with a warranty ect
    or buy a 2nd hand Carbon Hd with no warranty but about a pound and half lighter

    Do you see were I am coming from ?

    If you are a good enough rider to notice 1 1/2 pound difference I don’t think you’ll have any worries with either frame 😉

    don’t know if you’re after a medium but this at Bikescene is ‘only’ a little more than the Mega :S (I know still a lot mind). I did not get on with the Mega, so I’d make sure you ride them both as a new bike with a warranty is no good if it isn’t for you!

    Depends on how important weight is to you really.

    A Mojo HD isn’t actually that light considering it’s construction at nearly ~7lbs, is the Mega really knocking on ~8lbs for the frame & shock?

    That would be me out.
