AS title really.

Im pretty much set on somthing but i just thought i would ask here for peoples opinions.

riding conditions are the chilterns if anyone knows them and occasionally afan, cannock etc.

hardtail or full suss ??

for a 17 stone fatty too

reasons why

5 spot? 😉

Probably a heckler and some pikes/revs

see the basic heckler comes with just a normal rear shock s wouldnt it bob like mad??

Cotic BFe or maybe a soul with a rockshox sektor

oh see i was tempted by the bfe as i can get a discount on a new frame but wasnt sure how it would be as my only bike??

Plenty of people who went for them at £899 would have taken the option to go for the rp23 upgrade that stif/jungle were offering (frames £1099 now with the float r). Fairly sure the float r is still a “platform” shock however because when I demoed one round llandegla bog standard spec a few years back it was ace. Always regretted not buying it but got a better offer on an Enduro SL.

what ever i buy next ive got to stick with as the wife is threatening to divorce me as ive had so many bikes over the past few months.

really wanted to get on with the 5 spot but it was just to short in the top tube and i felt cramped!! it rode fantastic though .

Heckler’s pretty short too tbh. Large was just about big enough for me (6’1)

Chumba hx1 and revs and pocket about 300 in change.

I ride Chilterns (Cholsey) and took my chumba to hx1 to Cannock and it was ace

(I don’t work for si 😉 )

sod it made my mind up im going to stick with the fuel ex ive been after.

how tall are you?
