I've always said I'd never bother with 29ers but my new company are preparing to open up their bi-annual cycle to work scheme applications and it set me to thinking.
So what's a good clown bike for under a grand? Suspension not necessary but gears are (1x ideal)

I'd be tempted to see if they would swap the fork for one of their carbon rigid ones though.
Pretty sure you could find a clown bike such as this for under 1k if you look around.

Tak, good spot ta
Svalgis, ditto, looking around £150 would do it easily.
Dunno if it's the right size for you, but...

Oh, just saw the c2w aspect - forget it, sorry.
Voodoos at Halfords? Not amazing specs but the prices are good and stick a decent fork up front from merlin etc?
Orange Clockwork? Had mine delivered earlier this week and can't wait to go abuse it 🙂
Got it through my companies c2w as I figured it was a good way to try a 29er without the big outlay. Will be better for commuting duties as well compared to the SS.

Genesis High Latitude at evans, never tried one but it looks quite nice..
Evans also do a really well specced pinnacle 29er for 1k. Nice machine. Ramin I think it's called.
Crikey that OnOne is cheap.
Are Avid Elixirs as **** as the Juicys?
I get the impression a new inbred build may be on the way. The x5 stock seems to be getting discounted and run down on stock. Hope a new one is listed - ill be getting a new c2w bike in April.
Why oh why did you have to draw my attention to that inbred, i'm a little clown-curious and that looks like a really nice bike for the money.
Edit - actually I see its 799 for anything in stock, the 599 is traditional internet bait and switch pricing for an out of stock item, still not a bad price
Cube ltd 29er?
