I’d say look at an Orange P7 29er

Fab looking thing. Yes, the wait is a bit long for me. Also feel a couple of its contenders have a few more fine details than the orange when comparing features, but I'd definitely still happily ride one

That Signal and P7 look ace. I too would probably have gone for a Signal ST if they had one in my size. Squatch should arrive this week, but it's frame only so I need to move parts over. I very nearly went for a Big Al based on the Hardtail Party review, but the reach is on the short side in XL at 480mm and Ragley also recommend a 140mm fork and mine is 130mm. Neither are huge issues but it was enough to push me towards the Squatch.

@SlimJim78 I'm looking forward to reading your ride report when it arrives.

Mini-PSA - Plush Hill cycles have two Big Al frames in stock in XL, if anyone is looking for a frame.

Nice Moxie! It'd be about 100000% better if the seatstays weren't above the seattube but it's still ace, great colour

I'm holding out for the Stainless Steel Bird HT. I'm sure there is no advantage over cromoly other than not rusting but I like shiny things

Woah, that prices up favourably! Any further fall out with customers post ‘Sick’ debacle?..

I end up buying one of the sell off frames. As a whole process i’m pretty happy with it. That was 2 years ago now (how time flies) and geometry has caught up a fair bit with the mass market so there are other options about. Think I would be buying off the peg now if I wanted something 64 degrees head angle, custom if any more. I don’t think his involvement with sick has hurt his reputation, in fact I would say the complete opposite.
