Moon on the stick would be nice.
2k ish to spend. Unused, but I’m not bothered if its two years old, reduced in the sale or whatever, doesn’t need to be latest kit etc.
All I want is something possibly 150 travel, good forks, (first thing I changed on my now 4 yr old spesh) triple double or single doesn’t matter, that’s going to be used for a mixture of local stuff, tech climbs, rocky descents, the odd trail centre perhaps three or four a year and the odd uplift once maybe twice a year.
I’ve looked any the cannondale jekkyl which is about 3k down to 2 but the complication of the shock and something someone told me about a one off headset yesterday has put me off.
Any ideas.

A bit over budget, but 150mm with Revelations….

Zesty 314 2013 model can be picked up for about two grand at the moment, new stuff then I’d look at the Norco Range or maybe Kona Process 134 if you want something a bit different.

Ah….ignore this.

something like this

Not at all bothered about new. Just want (like everyone else) to get plenty of bike for my spend. The spesh I’ve got now has served me well but has had plenty of upgrades as the standard kit wasn’t up to a fat lad giving it some grief!

If you need something a bit more sturdy, how about a Nukeproof Mega?

Canyon prices seemed pretty reasonable to me.

Thanks for the input folks. Helped broaden my search. Also thanks rich for the email, wasn’t really thinking of buying private as I’d like a bit of warranty etc that comes with a shop purchase.

Does this miss the brief on every level?
