Right, first heres the story, Ive ridden bmx and jump bikes all my life, my current bike has a tiny frame, rigid forks, no brakes, low seat etc. And I use it for riding skateparks and popping down to the shop. I work in a bike shop and the guys I work with have been trying to get me out riding with them, except I dont ride xc, I just dont, well after a while I gave in, I was on a borrowed bike, with spd's 27 gears, brakes and full suspension, and I loved it. It was pretty awesome to say the least, so Im looking to set myself up a bike. But xc/racing isn't my area of expertise, and Im slightly lost. Im looking at a custom build, and will be spending around œ1500 rrp (Ill be getting it through the shop) and was wondering what can I get? I would like to spend more, but Im a poor 18 year old student etc etc. Just looking for ideas, and what you'd do if you were in my situation, but if you want to type out a full build Im all ears!

Im 6'1", fairly tall, and want dics, 27speed etc, Im not sure on rear suspension and was thinking for that price, I may aswell get a higher quality hardtail, rather than a cheaper full sus.

Also I really like the spec stumpjumper, looks super clean, but I want function over form, so Im unsure.
