So many MTB's!!

F. Radon #12

Hi guys!
my confirmation is coming right up and I'm wondering what bicycle to spend all my money on. Right now I\m riding a (poor) Radon zr team 5.0 (almost similar to the cube acid).
I usually ride XC/trail but I'd like to ride trail/all mountain.
I'm looking for a full suspension that can take me uphills without giving me a heart attack and take me down fast and effective without failing or breaking,and most important, a bike that will give me many hours of fun. The max amount of money I'm willing to spend is 2000$ will anyone give some advice?
thank you in advance!

I was thinking of one of these:

Triple post? Ok this one really is weird, it appeared AFTER the answer below, what the fugg?

Oh well, whilst I'm here...

AAAAAAH, I see. So I take it on this "confirmation" you get a sort of savings bond handed out. That's neat.
There's a similar tradition in Wales to, where the chapels "accept" people. Not sure if it still happens though.

A confirmation is when you confirm your faith in christianity (tradition in dk)

Sounds alot like a confirmation. though my english teacher from london calls the danish version a confirmation
anyway. any suggestions?

Do they have mountains in Denmark? ;-)

When I was confirmed (it's a catholic thing) at the age of 12 I certainly didn't get a new bike. Think I got about a tenner and a nice rosary. I'm going to complain to the church and demand one now........

That's because you weren't nice enough to the priest.
