Well I have been back into riding mountain bikes for nearly 18 months now and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I try to get out for at least an hour everyday. And on proper days off go for a random blast.
Now I'm looking for a different bike or frame. Budget probably £500 quid max as i can transfer the good bits maybe from current Carrera Vulcan.
Now although the Carrera Vulcan is ideal and what I'm currently doing, its obviously a XC bike and the angles of the frame, are beginning to somewhat stop me from enjoying my descents.
Now I think i'm after a slacker feeling bike, with more emphasis on descending is what I'm after, and travel about 130 mm max would do.
Now what frames/complete bike should i be looking at?

buy an on-one 456 steel frame and a pair of rockshox revelation rlt's, again from on-one. £470 for both and enough left over for a decent headset. this will give you a much more capable bike and the forks are superb. just transfer all the bits from the vulcan and replace as you break them as a result of your new found speed.
