Hi all

Looking for an off the peg trail orientated HT. Would like steel over ali but it’s not a deal breaker. What’s out there that I’ve missed?

Cheers

Bird Zero 1 or AMX ?

On One Parkwood looks good, though I’d probably build one myself with a Pike, SSC wheels and new 11sp XT… if it’s coming soon.

Or maybe the new B+ version they’re launching soon.

I’m a big fan of the Pinnacle Ramin, mine jumps and rides brilliantly. The skinny seatpost and big wheels take the sting out of things. The 6 with X1 and Reba RLTs is at your budget.

A whyte 905 is about £1500; might look at one later this year…..

I know you said off the peg, but honestly: https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/soul275
frame is 500 leaving you a grand to spec the rest.
Looks ace, handles ace, IS ace.
