Hi all, slight dilemma about which bike to be. Found myself in a fortunate position that I have a budget of £2-£2.5K to spend on a new stead.

About me: 6ft 3 and a bit and a portly 17 and a bit stone (with the ambition of loosing weight this summer)

My riding: Essex based so mainly Danbury, Thetford and Bedgbury. But regular trips to the lakes and other sporadic trips to the peaks and wales. Been biking for over 15 years now and a confident biker with good technical ability. I won't be hitting the park on it but I want I don't want a xc whippet steed.

So far in my mind I have Cotic Solaris, Genesis Latitude (frame only and then build up), Canyon AM 8.0X or a Lapierre Zesty 314. Also had in mind a Salsa Horsethief fram and building that up.

Any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
