Guys help me!

I currently have an awesome custom painted build Stumpy FSR as my fun bike trail centre bike and AM bike.

I also have a HT built up from a handsome dog frame and specced with xo xt etc.

The HT is again the fun local trails bike as on the South Downs but its heavy and I also use it every day as the work hack too.

I dont want to spend money on new forks, wheels other components on this HT as during the winter months it gets beaten to a pulp due to the weather - but at same time I love it and it rips through local trails.

I have a few options I need help on......

I have about £1500 to spend so do i....

A . Re-build up another Dog frame but specced for Race / Events / Fun rides and keep the old dog for work.

B . Tried a carbon 29er the other day and knocked 6 mins off a 10 mile loop we have on strava, loved it but scared myself arriving at corners too quick etc, but do i buy this demo bike and have 3 bikes (potential problem is im faster on it and my riding buddies will be on 26ers still.

C . Or do I take the chance and just get new forks on the current hardtail and make her lighter and hope the winter doesnt kill her.

D . Do I buy a brand new 26er as for £1500 there are some very nice specced canyons / Roses available which are sram / fox specced bikes.

HELP!
