I made a mistake - I thought I knew which hard tail I wanted; waited for some more cash and then ... everyone releases a load more cool bikes clouding my mind again!
Cotic - Bfe & new soul
Ragley - bluepig back
Bird - new zero
NS- new scout

All the above looking super cool and I'm sure there are more I've missed.

Mine is a one bike to do it all - I know the above are quite slack but I prefer to compromise the road run than the trail fun.

I'm sure I'm going to get more suggestions to cloud my mind but anyone got any good ideas?

Depends on budget, the Kingdom and Sick TI hardtails are a good buy when available

Problem is there's so much choice, probably to much !! What did you originally fancy ? Maybe for you that might be the best choice anyway.

Depends on your budget and preferred wheel size but I was looking at a [url= http://stoogecycles.co.uk ]Stooge[/url] this morning and they're very nice.

I was originally sold on the bluepig but then it was terminally out of stock so went and tried the new Bfe and that was the one - now that's out of stock to for now and just a bit of nice new bikes.
I use my bike to go on the trails but also go out with the kids etc so wasn't really thinking a plus or fat bike
Just with lots of lovely options I was thinking again

Looked at the sonder transition carbon now too

Is that budget the whole bike or frame only? If frame only you can go really gucci; if complete bike may I throw in pinnacle iroko; great fun, great spec, lovely ride and would come in towards the bottom of that budget

Surly karate monkey?
You could get a decent build for that budget.
Mine is rigid, but it rides really well.
(For me)

Newest Whytes look great.
I would have a Bird zero TR in a flash. Look at Pinnacle as well, less fashionable but really sorted.

Kingdom Ti frames are really nice!

Alternatively what about a Stanton?
