Currently have a Giant Talon 1 as a stop gap replacement after bike being stolen. Last few bikes have been 140-160mm travel FS for hammering in the Peak.
Getting back into the swing of things and enjoying riding short distances but techy fun.
I have a budget of £5-600 🙁
Need a bike suitable for a 6ft 1 bloke
essential:
130+ travel
HT
Dropper
650b/29er
<66 degree head angle
long tt
climbs well

desirable
1x10
good nick
close to Derbyshire/yorks to pick up

Anyone know of any hidden gems - looking at the Sonder in the classifieds - ideal bike!! but not sure if the medium is ok even though the tt is huge!

do you best people

Be patient, one will turn up sooner or later, you may have to buy a frame and build it up from there

Try pinkbike, retrobike, shpock, gumtree, vivastreet. They all do bikes.
