After lots of hard saving I’m now looking for a 29er HT for up to £1000
Following a visit to my LBS, I’m trying to choose between the following bikes that are (just) within my budget:

[url= http://www.trekbikes.com/uk/en/bikes/mountain/cross_country/29er_race/x_caliber/# ]Trek X-Calibur[/url] (£1100 – could possibly stretch to this)
I’m after any feedback / info from anyone who owns / owned / ridden any of the above?
Appreciate your help 🙂
Charge cooker hi should be on your list
Why not get a scandal from on one and build up with a mix of new and second hand bits?
Have tested the Spesh carve. Was very good Apart from the poor mud cleanace.
And maybe a little heavy but that's a price thing rather than anything else
Thank for all the comments.
The Charge Cooker Hi looks great - thanks for that yossarian 🙂
I'm on the Isle of Man so I'll see if anyone will deliver one here!
Just spotted this too [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain/product/review-on-one-inbred-29er-12-45966 ]On One Inbred 29 X9[/url] big spec for the money but there's nothing at all about it on On One's website 🙁
Lots of mud here in the IOM so the Carve might not be ideal!
No too mainstream I guess for those of us who've been riding 29er HT's for years
Have a look at the Canyon 8.9 29er HT, very good spec for the money
Def have a look at the canyon.
You could put a Singular Swift together...mmmm.
shock horror somebody dares to ask about mainstream brands on STW forum.... i can see it making the front page tomorrow!!?
None if them have huge mud clearance rear Tyre to ST/FD...def byo if you don't like anything stock...
