Currently got a 2013 26" Five Pro with Flow EX wheels, 2x10, Hope brakes, 740mm Renthal bar, 70mm Raceface stem etc.
Decided I'm going to treat myself to a new 27.5" bike as had the Orange 3 years. I was going to get a 2016 Trance SX for £3000.
But I've started looking around and seen some good sale bikes, Reign 27.5 2 for £1900, 2015 Trance 1 for £1800 etc.

Trance: http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/m1b0s183p5813/GIANT-TRANCE-27-5-1-2015
I ride mostly rocky natural stuff like Peak District, Wales, I also ride trail centres a lot like Cannock, Llandegla and Coed y Brenin. I've also signed up for 'Ard rock enduro next year.
I want a bike that can do all that, and still be comfortable for a whole day in the saddle. In the Peaks there's a lot of climbing involved, so I don't mind 2x10 as opposed to 1x11. I want a bigger spread of gears than my Five has though (largest front chainring is a 32 because of Orange frame design).
Thanks in advance for the suggestions and merry Christmas.

The Trance 1 should be perfect. I think you might find the Reign hard work.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350
