Thanks for all of the great advice that you have taken the time to give me. I am going to go out on the bike again today and enjoy it for what it is and take it from there.
I have decided that swapping the parts onto a Solaris isn’t worthwhile, I think I’d be better off having two different bikes really as it would be about £750 to do that and the Boardman frame wouldn’t get me much back.
I have also decided that the Soul would be a bit pointless as it’s too similar, being a hardtail.
I think if I do decide to get something, I should keep what I have, which in all honesty is a decent riding and spec’d bike and get a FS alongside it.
I’ll report back after today’s ride 🙂
Thanks again guys.
Edit.
I’m not feeling the Spearfish I’m afraid, maybe an Anthem 29 if it was that sort of bike but I think I’d go for something else.
