Voltage FR20? Little bit under budget and made of sturdy.

I'd be looking at YT but you'd have to go for a Dues since obviously a Noton is out of the question 😉

Lovely green Santa Cruz Nomad that's been in the classifieds recently, was just reduced to £2k.

Second YT industries. Assuming you can live with the paint job. CRC had a nice deal on the Megga and some older Kona's.

paulosoxo, what you got?

An XL Meta 5.5.2 from 2007 (I think that was pre-snappy)
A L Giant Anthem
An 18" 456 Summer Season
A 20" Inbred
A 20" Voodoo Bokor with Sliding Dropouts

🙂

I'm stripping them all soon enough I think 🙁

I've just ordered a new road bike, I'm going to get some miles in me, see if I get over the dizziness, and then maybe buy a nice Ti MTB of some sort if the balance seems ok in a year or so.

Suprisingly robust, if you get my drift...
.....but not really DH/FR.

one of my mates has recently bought a Canyon Torque FRX speed zone, and he's well pleased with it. He gets lots of attention on it and everyone seems to think it's a bargain.

I did see a very nice Scott voltage in Evans in Xscape casvegas the other week, reduced to about £1600 and a very bright yellow Norco that looked well nice, again reduced to below 2k.
