what should i replace my Maverick with - when M&S insurance send me a big fat czech?
not into the equipment side of mtb bikes much, so no idea what is out there. hardtail considered also.
lapeirre zesty or orange five?
Intense Tracer...
Intense is the way forward
Or how about a Knolly Endorphin?
Hmm, knolly looks nice, might be overkill tho'
Haven't you got a connection with Sinister Dave?

Looks pretty badass but still a light(ish) frame. I can't really imagine you riding something 'obvious' somehow...
I don't know anyone called Sinister Dave
nice. cheers Will, had looked at evil and transition, forgot about sinsiter
maybe that would be better than a Giant XTC with deore
Yep, you'll need something less obvious. In terms of full sus how about semthing single pivot for reduceded maintenance?
Del's 5 looks felixier than his Hitchcock so maybe avoid. Superlight?
Probably best to take the cheque to Craig and return to pick something up in your size.
pronghorn?
similarly nichey/innovative to the maverick?
(I know a Miserable Chef Dave and a Midnight Dave)
pronghorn even more ugly than the Maverick and shockingly overpriced
Dare I say a Durance?
I'm sure Si will be along at some point with a chumba or summit like
Is touting allowed on this forum??
thinking of selling stuff myself,seems like a good way of making cash without advertising 😛
Will the real Rocketdog please stand up?
Craig has a nearly new Hemlock (demo'd about 4 times) 2 step Lyrics, XO groupset.... 1800....ahem
design a new front end for the maverick and see if you can better it.
after all.. you have one of the best rear ends going as it is.
Any bike that dosent have a unified rear triangle will be an improvement.
How are Pronghorns ugly? Maybe you should try one first. I'll be shocked to the core if you have.
I rode one. (Pronghorn)
It was good. Ugly but good. Forks were bad, some DT Swiss 150mm things with a QR, about 1sec delay in steering response. Not good.
Climbs well, descends well enough too but a bit steep angled for anything too serious.
Anyway, as you were.
if your cheque is big enough why not a nicolai?
Ibis Mojo HD - I want to hear what they're like!
Hmmm, liking thoughts of the Ibis, but may be well out of the budget
T®ibal©hief - Memberit has been temporarily replaced with this... while the artist finishes off another Maverick frame she's been working on.... once a tart, always a tart..
Moar fish???
I see TC lives again...
