I might have went for the Nicoli on eBay but it was without warranty and didn't have a shock for about 865 quid. That's just too much of a gamble at that sort of price. If the price is right I would go with geometron but around 3k is the my budget. So it will be unlikely that I wi?l get a geometron for that even second hand. I think the whyte or transition look good. 29er is my first choice.mif If i can get close 500mm reach I'm sure I will be fine. I used to have a meta 6 years ago and have never been OTB so much in my life. Short wheelbase, steepish head angle and high BB were lethal.

One option, still loads of interesting frames for not much.

Is it really hard to get demos on XL and XXL bikes?
In my experience, it is not hard, it is near enough impossible.
Apart from with Mojo and the GeoMetrons, I think Cotic also.
As mentioned Nicolai warranty is 5yr but almost certain that is transferable. Breaking is not something you hear of in the same breath as Nicolai unless it's been wrapped round a tree Minaar style.

Mojo have G13/s in stock and we're doing some deals on packages.

As someone said, I'd be looking to get a frame that will work for you rather than aiming high with components. You can always upgrade if necessary as funds allow.

Hi im 6'5 and 110kg & ride a 2015 Spesh Enduro 29er and love it. Fits well, not too tall. Absolute riot to ride on the trails and very low maintenance i might add.

Have you looked at the 23" XXL Trek Fuel Ex? I'm just under 6'4" and ride a 21.5. The jump up to the 23" is pretty big, has reach of 505ish from memory and a good bit more stack. I'm really liking mine, only issue is the SA is effective but in reality if you're tall with the saddle at pedalling height it is pretty slack which doesn't help climbing. That said it still climbs pretty well for the type of bike it is

I think the new Bird AM9 looks like another contender. Geometery numbers look good. I think its down to whyte, transition, bird and spesh i think. Geometron is out of my price range. Cheers for All the suggestions. Nice to see a good 29er selection for 2018.
