Thanks, I'm riding a scandal 29er at the minute and looking for something to do long distance events on, flexy doesn't sound good

One thing I like about the scandal is 80mm travel, so think I'm looking for something with less travel

Tall boy is nice but getting a bit toward the 'all mountain' 29er do you think?

I had a jet 9 until they recalled them.It was nice but the tall boy is a much more capable bike up and down.
