edited June 2010 in MTB buying advice
Just been told my "Blame/Claim" case is settled, so got a few pennies to spend.

Tempted by a KHS 604 XC full sus for a round £850.

Or Giant Trance, lower model around similar price.

Or, buy some nice forks - £199, and bits for a Norco Bigfoot h/tail frame and stay with the aggressive XC hardtail.

Decisions, decisions...What would YOU do?

    Hookers and booze.

    DO you want or need a full susser?

    Stuff around here is better/safer on full sus, but good hardcore hardtail with decent forks would prob handle most routes. ( The Marin, CYB, Penmachno, Cilgwyn quarry.)

    If I go for the full sus bike, can swap-out the crappier bits and put my pucker stuff on...
    XT c/set, Easton bars/stem, Mavic t/less, Conti Mtn Kings, Time Atacs, Hayes El Camino's.

    Then, tart up my hardtail, e-bay it and get some readies back.

    Or...get myself a new Hardcore hardtail, with all the bells and whistles.

    Now, who hires out hovercrafts full of hookers and booze???

    When my 2nd Claim gets settled - no kidding - look across the Menai...you'll see an old git surrounded by gorgeous Babes!!!!

    Think the KHS full bike best option...
