To batter the black dog once and for all, it's high time I need to get my backside back out on the bike

So.......I'm looking for a hardtail, probably 27.5 and or Plus, for a fat bloke, for under a grand (bike to work or finance)

My old 2004 Kona is getting more and more expensive to keep running and like Jennifer Anniston........I'm worth it

Before someone jumps in with a L'Oreal reference or an ive got so that type suggestion how about the bike you list after within your budget, the one tgat makes tou want to ride it and puts a smile on your face 🙂

This is often not aligned to what you ride, wheel size or what's rad but you and what makes you grin.

I took that approach last time and have had no regrets as it's always wrong for xc, commute, trail centre, enduro, e.g. and trials but ... it always makes me want to ride it and grin.

#grinsfirst maybe?

Genesis Longditude. A smidge over budget, but a good looking, simple bike.
