hi, i'm looking to replace my trusty but now aged spesh enduro. not sure what to replace it with though and thoughht maybe the collective could help point me in the right direction
basically i have a few criteria for you to work with. so:
4" travel
full sus
reasonably light as it will be my race machine as well as my all day ride
£1500 max.
thanks in advance
Get a Rocky Mountain ETSX, a mate of mine was running one for a while.
Check [url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/custom-mountain-bikes/rocky-mountain-bikes/rocky-mountain-etsx-custom-build.html ]here[/url] for a build, can't go wrong at the price.

...or an Anthem X that'll give you a bit more travel for your 'all day' riding? Get some adjustable forks on it (especially if you do what I did and buy a low end one for the frame and rebuild it). It'll see you down just about anything and should be tweakable (with tyres / pedals / forks) to race on too. Can't go far wrong.
Epic, Top Fuel, Anthem etc, go try a few and buy the one you like most. You'll be a bit over budget with the first two, but can prob find some deals.

Admittedly you will want to upgrade a few components over time.
