Hi All!!
Still can't make up my mind??

Looking for a 29er HT frame, but which one!
I have a new set off 100mm Reba's with a tapered steerer and 15mm axle

I ride at thetford, i'm planing to do the winter enduro's again and want a 29er HT for that purpose??

What should I buy????????????????????

I ridden my Canyon Grand Canyon 29er there twice now and will again tonight and it suit the trails well, as would many others XC orientated bikes. Despite what you read Thetford is like many other trails, natural or man made.

Of course you asked for a frame so the Canyon would be out so I'd probably choose a Cotic Solaris (same geo as the Canyon), or the Kenesis one.

Budget is £400/£500
But the On One Scandal V2 looks good value
Also like the look of the Niner EMD 9??

The EMD9 never seems to get a mention on here??

Hell yeah, if you're after a fast, stable, thrashtastic 29'er HT that's great on single track, roots & mud as well as rocky descents you won't go wrong with the ff29

I'm in the market for a 29er hard tail and the Kenisis FF29 is coming out on top thanks to the £400 Merlin price tag at present.

Frantically trying to raise cash before they are sold out.
