Best single chainring hardtails...

I'm looking for a new hardtail and am drawn by the simplicity of a single chainring setup (eg SRAM GX). Problem is I'm having trouble finding bikes that actually run this! Can anyone offer advice or recommendations? Budget is around £1500.
Cheers

Buy any hardtail and just sell the three chain rings and front mech, that should more than pay for a single ring.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Budget?
Converting to a single ring is pretty cheap' so it would only affect my buying decision if all else was equal.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 -
Do keep up. You drag the whole class down.Budget is around £1500.

Don't scoff at the name.... the Ramin actually rides really well. Iroko yet to be confirmed, but as a bike designed by James Olsen I expect it to be good0
