You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
So, I could do with a peoples views. I've got an Alps trip planned already for next year to Les Arcs for some singletrack riding with I'm guessing a bit of chair use for uplift. I've recently sold my Specialized Enduro from 2008, and my bike collection doesn't contain anything which will be up to the job (Specialized Fatboy, Specialized Status 2 and a Singular Rooster 29+ singlespeed). Done the Alps including Les Arcs, Les Gets, Chamonix and Tignes before but mostly done bike park riding to date with the exception of Chamonix, though that was getting on for ten years ago.
I'm thinking of something like a Specialized Stumpy FSR 6Fattie or possiby going for another Enduro, but really want a bike which I'm going to ride more when I'm in the UK, and think I might be over biked. If I do uplifts I'll always use the Status too so don't need a "big" travel bike. Are there any other reasonable alternatives out there on the market? Top end budget of around £3k. Oh, and whilst I might appear to be brand loyal I'm open to anything.
