i currently ride a stumpjumper fsr evo 2011 but im looking to get something new, i raced the british enduro serise and loved it so want to do it again!
just wondered if any of you had ideas for a new bike...idealy a frame!
i was also looking at getting a stantonslackline as ive seen people ride them at enduro events and do ok...what do u guys think of this...would it be silly to go from full sus to hardtail especialli in enduros?
cheers guys

i do its been really great but i fancy a change...anyway i brought the stumpy through my work at staff price (£1500) and im selling it for the same price i brought it (second hand bikes go down in price by half after a year usually)

I had a slackline for a while-if your looking for a hardtail suited to the enduros it would be spot on IMO.

what size is the stumpy-could be keen..

Slackline will be less good at the job in hand than the Stumpy (which will be superb at it). Course, the Stanton might be more fun, who knows? That's down to you.

I don't think I'd chose to race enduro on a hardtail, I'm slow enough on a full suss!

Ah, but! I discovered the secret of this a while back... It's a bit like racing downhill on a little bike, loads of people are just impressed you're doing it at all, even if you're pish. Whereas most people on the ideal bike for the job are still also-rans, just boring also-rans.

No hardtail class in the enduros as far as I know though.
