Mega is outstanding value and very well liked. For a little over £1,000 you can get a Covert on sale. My LBS sold their demo Covert frame together with Hope headset and BB for £650, a bargain.
There's been some great help here. Starting to wonder whether the mega is too much bike for what I need, as my riding is mixed between general xc, trail centres and a fair bit of more technical natural stuff here in north Wales. My mate recently picked up a sale 5 spot for 800 quid ! Anyone know of any deals anything like as good as this ? Also saw somewhere that has a 575 for a good price. With the new hopefully more reliable alloy back end. I looked into the stumpy evo as it sounds ideal, but no medium sizes. Anyone know of any hecklers on a good deal either ?

The Mega with propedal on rides like a trail bike. Then let it off to let loose 🙂
Mega for £600. No brainer. Dammit you new kitchen / new wall / 4 car tyres / deposit for anniversary bash etc etc.
Hopefully they'll still be that price later in the year!
More deals than you can shake your mickey at over on CRC

Nice Cove Hustler in green would be cool.....
that 2009 Dawg for £399. Scandium tubes? Mag rocker? 6" travel? for £399? I had the 5" Coiler and it was a riot, and I sold it used for not much less than that.
You could spend the difference on a pimpy shock, or have the frame and decent forks for £1K. Someone on classifieds recently listed 2010 Lyriks for a bargain price (~£250).
Hmmm, I can see a second FS coming on!

New Commencal AM for under a grand!
I bloody hate threads like this! Perfectly good bike sitting in the garage, and all of a sudden people are posting awesome new spangly frames which I can't afford but can't stop wanting. What is it with bike envy? I should have just got into chess.
