Might have the nod to get a new bike better suited to local Mincecore Lite®.

Anyone seen any bargainous 29er HTs about?

There's a PSA elsewhere on here for cheap Scandals on Planet X

Ooh that Scandal offer does look good! I had one of the green 'sandpaper' ones and always regretted selling it.

I’m 5’11” and appear to be between the M and L.

Anyone else of a similar height and got one? If so what size did you order?

At 6:2ft (189) what size would you recommend L or Xl ?

Also just day dreaming but how would it come up if I use Nitromors paint stripper on the frame and stripped it back to a lovely brushed Aluminium ? There's a few nice examples on Google images of other similar bikes, not keen on the colour range.

Budget?

Would love a titanium frame but there all well >£1,000+. Would love a Sonder Signal Ti (£1250 for frame) but out my budget currently.

Stanton did a steel frame loaner scheme for people ordering UK made Ti frames, given the lead times.

They'll be getting those back as they work through the Ti order book. Worth a call to see if they're selling them off for a nice price.
