Fast, light HT - your thoughts

kinioo

Afternoon all,

Am thinking of getting myself a second bike (I have Giant Anthem X2 2013 - and absolutely love it!!).

Thinking of a HT, must be fast and light, therefore maybe carbon ??

What I am after:

- light & fast;
- not necessary racing geometry but can consider;
- 27.5 or 29er;
- probably second hand as cannot spend more than 800quid...

Your thoughts??

Have a look for a Trek Superfly, nice Geo, once up to speed they hold it well.

Shameless plug but I have a Stumpjumper carbon HT for sale at the moment which is the sort of bike you're looking for. It's a large frame (19"). It's on eBay at £850 but I'm expecting to be knocked down. Looking for £750.
