Along with the tradition of recommending what you have.

I would suggest the whyte G150s. Similar spec and yes it is more expensive but it is tested and designed in the UK for the stuff we ride. Also you can get it from a shop and support the UK bike industry.

(I have ridden last years spectral + many other bikes in this category)

Or a fritzz?

Bird Aeris, although not until Jan?

I'd be willing to wait until Jan for an Aeris. The amx version looks tops for £2k and a bit.

erm.... no more cubes EVER!!! or a bike from tredz! lol see previous post on here for details!!!

yeah the bird is one am weighing up! only thing that puts me off is lack of reviews and its COMPLETELY new not even a new release so nothing to judge it on!.....

YT or new Commencaal V4?

only YT wicked 650b in my range and they are sold out!

never thought about a commencaal v4..... will look now

Giant Reign.

Cazum there's a review of the Aeris in this months WMB. If you are feeling cheap you can find the relevant parts on the website www.birdmtb.com

I got a Kona process 153 a few weeks back from Winstanleys,for £1900, very happy. Was very tempted by a spectral but couldn't be botherd to wait till december for my size.

Solid Bikes also worth a look

Most Commencals i've seen at that price have Fox 32s or 34s...nothing particularly wrong with the 34 but if you must have Pikes go for one of the German direct sales companies and spec the bike yourself.

we may have a winner!

Link doesn't work. But are you sure you want to buy a bike from Germany meaning there is no shop to take it back to if you have any issues, after what happened with your cube?

could lightening strike twice.....??? knowing my luck possibly!

3 guys local to me all bought Radon, one managed to break his carbon chain stays and they sent him a new rear triangle under warranty. I'd say they're all very competent and competitive riders, all like their bikes very much. I am tempted to join them when the time comes.

Its a 29er, but [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/CBOOCODX01/on-one-codeine-29-sram-x01-mountain-bike ]On-One Codiene[/url]

Spoke to a few owners.....they love them one cracked rear swing arm was replaced no problems they all very happy with the bikes.....

Bought it today.

Thanks for the help and advice

I guess you are in a hurry but if you are not then I would consider waiting for the 650b Codeine.

needed a bike but i wasn't waiting 5months for a strive, 3 months for a spectral. didn't know about the codeine 650b but how long would that wait have been!?

the radon should be here within 14days... so it was a bonus ontop of the spec!
