I mainly ride the Peak District all year round and currently have a 2013 Specialized Camber. I want something more aggressive with good climbing capabilities. I'm looking for suggestions for a new bike. Needs to have the following:
Full susser
Pike forks
Shimano brakes
dropper post
140mm travel
1 x 10/11
I have looked at the following bikes so far.
YT Capra (maybe too much for the climbs)
Kona Process (hard to get an XL frame size)
Canyon Spectral (too much waiting time)
Thanks

About 20 minutes ago I managed to raise the money by other means, so I don't have to sell my toys. Phew! Plus, it's a medium not an XL.
I'd highly recommend a Process, though. Wonderful, wonderful bike!All the gear, no idea and loving the smell of jealousy in the morning.

And don't worry, we won't judge you. You did what you had to do. No matter how yucky.I don't do smileys.

New On One Codeine 27.5? Just launched today.
Its 160/150 travel, so may be too much. Not sure it comes with Pikes, but might be possible to specify a build with them?0 -

A roadie mate with poor technique (yes worse than mine) has a trigger and it does flatter his riding.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Cube Stereo 140 TM, in the sales.
Has Guide brakes but you can swap them out for XT.Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0
