I'm currently thinking of getting rid of my fairly aged Boardman HT and my downhill bike which gets very little use and replacing with one 'do everything' bike. I ride mostly local trails, here in Sussex, a bit of XC type stuff on the South Downs and 2/3 trips a year to BPW (mostly blues and reds) and Afan.

So the challenge is that I'm trying to cover a reasonably wide range of riding. Here are the bikes I've narrowed it down to at the moment (although I'm open to other suggestions):

Cube Stereo HPC TM - £2879 (with voucher code) https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Cube-Stereo-14 ... 200161.htm
Canyon Neuron CF 8.0 - £2,349 https://www.canyon.com/en-gb/mountain-b ... /2068.html
Giant Trance 1 - £2,303 (with voucher code) https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-Trance-1 ... 200495.htm

Any thoughts/advice/suggestions welcome :mrgreen:

    Have a look at the Bird Aeris 120LT, you can build it to your spec and price, the guarantee is the best around and also the best customer service.
    Now where's that "Get Out of Crash Free Card"
  • Sonder Evol by Alpkit

    Google it

    Fall in love I did

    Again can customise when ordering

    I was so tempted when you lot were suggesting this for me...
