Santa Cruz Bullit?

2009 stinky delux at winstanleys for 1600, bargain.
Norcos are pretty good value.
The scott seems a good deal as well.

If you’re upping the budget the a Titus El Guapo is about spot on for what you’re looking for, purdy too

XL heckler in the classifieds

You’ve not really said what you want it for, other than not DH, and (more) fun going down. Once a year in the Alps, or a couple of trips to Inners? Or something a bit more capable than what you’ve got for caning Lakes descents, but still not too much of a chore to pedal up?

I know you said ‘off the shelf’ but I’d probably look for something like a good secondhand RFX/SixPack/Moment/Nomad/El Guapo or as mboy says, a Foes works well for the larger rider- an FXR, or even an older Inferno.

I’m assuming it’s for having a bash at this Gravity Enduro series next year?

One of these 🙂 Could build one for around your budget..

Amos……it is indeed mate.
not gonna be riding any long stuff for the forseable future.
gonna be doing a bit of pushing up and rolling down stuff……… 😉

Foes 4x 2:1 for the buzz 🙂

See you there, I’ll try not to hold you up!

I.m gonna have a go at a couple of stages on my Knolly endorphin. I may as well, I use the fecker for everything else!

Pitch Pro on those new 170mm Lyriks?

Used alpine with Ccdb.

Whats the “enduro gravity series” sounds good.

seriously thinking about buying some of the new 140mm 29r forks and just using my ventana el capitan with the seat down………. 8)
handles snowden/nan bield/cader idris no worries.
