I'm trying to choose between 2 different frames from the same manufacturer.
One is an updated version of the frame I have (140mm)but a little lighter, bolt thru rear. The manufacturer says this is a wheels on the ground bike. The other is 160mm, bit (1lb) heavier, all bells and whistles etc. This is sold as being happy with it's wheels off the ground. I'm in the south west and like to ride the usual spots; tocks, mendips and trips to afan, cwmcarn etc. I'm wanting to do some DH stuff mainly cwmcarn and FOD. I'm thinking that bike 1 is going to be ideal for the majority of my riding but not really suitable for uplift days etc. Bike 2 would be OK for both (although not perfect for either). I'd really like to have one bike only, we don't have a lot of space. Should I flip a coin?

Either the new Knolly endorphin or the Knolly Chilcotin.
I have an endo currently but I'm facing up to the fact that ot's just a little too small for me ๐Ÿ™
I wouldn't even be considering parting with it otherwise, it is ace hence looking at another Knolly. Mind you, I like the new rocky mountain slayer, the mojo HD and SC nomadC.

The Chilcotin looks good.

Another endo I'd say.

Well that clears it up! ๐Ÿ˜€
Seriously conflicted as I know the new endo will be a serious singletrack ripper but the chilcotin would be so versatile.
