How long is the warranty on a commencal? 1 year? 2 years? 5 years? lifetime?
New:
Pipedream Totero FS140 (140mm rear travel), 4-bar, £700 (singletrackmag seemed to love it)
Cotic Hemlock (130-160mm forks, 120 and/or 150mm rear travel), 4-bar £1080 (inc. Fox RP23 + few other things)
Santa Cruz Heckler (140-170mm forks, 150mm rear travel), single pivot, £1200 (2010 could be more)
Orange 5 (130-160mm forks, 140mm rear travel), single pivot, £1275 (RP23)
Else buy a complete bike, but a low specced good frame, sell the bits, keep the frame. For eg:
Giant Trance X_ ~ £1k, Reign ~ £1300-1400, Trek Fuel EX7 ~ £1400, Specialized Pitch £1400-1600 etc etc ..
Can't think what else off the top of my head, but there'll be more
