Just need a quick sanity check.
Budget of £1500.
Anything obvious that beats this.

On-One Big Dog? GX Eagle beats Deore imo, and MRP fork trumps Marzocchi I reckon.

I'd be inclined to suggest the 2021 boardman mtr 8.8 for £1350

Worth checking out the new Ragleys but they aren't in stock yet.

Should have said. In stock and size small. Also a hardtail.
Ragley aren’t in stock until September.

@samuelr I think Ragley said on Instagram that Big Als and Marleys would be coming into stock w/c 15th March. Mmmbops have been appearing every so often over the last week.

Having said that the Merida looks great in Purple.

There are still second hand bargains out there, despite market conditions.

Appreciate NBD may line up better with a new shiny rig, but having recently sourced one for a mate there are decent options out there which keeps things interesting. His budget was a round £1k. Found a 2020 Sonder Transmitter with a Pike for £800. Felt that was an absolute bargain in the current world, missed out on it and got something else but really liked the Sonder.
