    What price point do you start getting a dropper?

    A higher one than buying without and getting a brand X from CRC, usually.

    Defo buy the bike you want and just buy a brand x post for £100 from cRC separately.

    If it doesn’t need to be 29er then maybe also consider a Vitus Nucleus for your budget.

    MBUK did a bike test of similar prices hardtails – as well as Bizango they tested a very slack Marin, a Pinnacle and one other (that won the test but I’ve forgotten what it was)!

    A Vitus won out of the four.

    Ah yes – must be the Vitus Nucleus – it’s won other mountain bike budget bike tests too so there must be something in it. I have the Sentier which is the next hardtail up from the Nucleus and it’s great so far.
