Narrowed it down to these 2 options.
Spitfire frame only and run it 26" or Bronson full build. Like both, either would be perfect. Bronson is from lbs spitfire would be from elsewhere.
Any reason not to go for either one?
Not ridden the original Bronson, but had a quick spin on the newer version and really liked it.
It's going to make buying a new bike really hard next year.

Before the 2016 v2 Bronson arrived the Spitfire had a very clear advantage but it's not such a big difference now - however it's still a bit lower and longer and has a better suspension design (less kickback, more sensitive to small bumps and better at handling big hits - and pedals just as well).
2nd hand spitfire is the best option 😉
Hahaha Santa is not that kind. Sat on a Bronson in aber and it was a great fit and felt fantastic. It's just making choosing a new bike much harder!!
