I have an '06 Enduro Expert and I only ride it about twice a year. Oh the joys of having a few bikes to choose from. I really would like to end up with a full-sus bike as one of my quiver, but. Thing is it is fabulous for the trail centre rides now and again... but I ride different terrain mostly nowadays, more Quantocky than Afan-y.
Question is, does the panel think I'd be better off trying to sell it as a whole, or splitting it for components and flogging the frame alone then getting a slightly more climbable frame and putting the bits on that?
Keep the Enduro and get out on Dartmoor more often toget the most out of it 8)

Why would you need an Enduro for Dartmoor? Have I missed something really extreme there?
Surely the Quantocks is very similar to trail centre terrain though? I wouldn't try to lighten it up so it's similar to the HT though. I'd make it heavier and therefore better for more DH oriented stuff.
quiver?
IdleJohn: some bits of the moor are quite technical. Try riding down off some of the tors on piles of random granite boulders. Great fun. You may have missed them...
Grumm: quiver: very old surfing term for several surfboards you have to choose from. Bit like a quiver of arrows.
RichPenny I don't want to do more DH stuff! I would like to do more long distance cross country stuff...

I tend to ride my FS more often on Dartmoor these days 'cos it climbs better!
(A Trek EX7 if that helps your decision making).

Haha! I used to live in Haytor - never rode down the rocks though......
Bellever is a good example of a rideable one. Some of the oververtical bits of Haytor are 'quite fun' but not if you're on a bike 😉
