So, love my Canyon 29er hard tail, tried a Tallboy LT and Ripley and becoming convinced I should replace my Jekyll 26er with a FS 29er but... which one??? :? Was set on a Tallboy but struggling to justify the cash when something like the Canyon Nerve AL 9.9 costs less than a Tallboy frame and fork... Thoughts??

    You need to ride them, however, I know you can't do that with the Canyon, also I'm not sure the Tallboy is worth the extra £600+

    I have ridden a Tallboy, Tallboy LT and Ripley and liked them all, particularly the Tallboy LT although I think a Tallboy with 120mm forks might be the better bike for my riding. The problem is I can't ride the Canyon but reviews have been good and it hammers the SC frames on price. Anybody out there got the Canyon Nerve 29??

    Do you want the best components or the best frame?
    Santa Cruz frames always ride extremely well and last forever.
    The Canyon bikes I have tried didnt impress me at all.
