Welcome to the forum
Something like a RS tora or recon would be a sensible bet. If you looking to spend a bit more, look at the RS Reba and the Fox F100 seriesNow that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10 -

Ooops, dipped out for abit? budget is around £400 to £500 (saving up). the travel on the J3,s is100mm to 120mm. Am aware that any more will upset the geo of the bike

Yeah thanx Reba sounds cool. I was thinking of RS Revelations u turn but do not lik the ideal of running them locked down to 120mm - 130mm.0
