My Neighbour has asked me what bike I would recommend to him as he wants a new bike.
He's 60, 6'4", stocky build, rides a Spesh Stumpjumper FSR.

He wants 29er, short travel full suss, light weight, tubeless ready, £2K-£3K.

The ones that spring to mind are;
Spesh Epic
Trek Top Fuel
Scott Spark
Canyon LUX

But what else would fit his requirements?

Anthem 29er £1500, lightweight circs 1500g wheels £600 and you have a 26lb winner right there.

Another few hundred on lighter post/stem/bars for 25lb.
