Suggestions please?!

Ok, so I'm considering a new bike and I just can't stop looking at options! So I thought I'd put down what I'm looking for ideally and see what you learned people can come up with!

Full sus, 650b, 120-140mm travel, 2x10 (not fit enough for 1x!) 30.9mm seat post (for current dropper, or comes with one) clutch deraileur ideal, £1500 (may be able to stretch...)

Have been looking at: Calibre Bossnut, Boardman Pro FS, Norco Fluid 7.1, Giant Trance 3, On One Codeine (at a stretch)

Any comments/other suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks oxo. I was also looking at an escarpe a little while back. Found a few last years around but not many

If you can wait a couple of months the 2017 models will start to trickle in and 2016 models will drop in price.
Then consider the Specialized Camber Comp. It ticks all the boxes and gets great reviews.

When do the 2017 models start coming out? I looked at the camber but it's a bit out of budget at £2K

Also considering the cube stereo 140...

...also just seen the radon skeen 120 8.0
Anyone got thoughts on this? Only just over £1500 with exchange rate

Anyone?

Bird, great reviews, local guys, plenty of friends have them and no complaints, and you can spec one withing budget.

Yeah I was looking at the Aeris, was pushing the budget a little though

cooldad · May 2016

Yeah, I read budget as £2k.

Nice bikes though.

Crazyjenkins01 · May 2016

I've specced a 10speed to £1600ish...

Suggestions please?!
