Right I want a new bike my enduro bikes too much for where I am.
So I'm looking at a 120mm full sus or a hardtail. Medium in a 29er flavour.
No real budget but 2 to 2.5 max ish. In stock or short lead time is key
Want a new one as I'll put it on 0apr as I'd rather pay like that than take my money out in a lump so suggest away.
Currently a 529v4 whytes in front at 1500 quid. Seems to tick all the boxes and is handy cash! And is in stock 20miles away
But fire away. Need a bike to increase / find my mojo
If you’re tall there is one of these left in stock in XL
https://www.wiggle.co.uk/vitus-rapide-fs-cr-mountain-bike-2021
One of these in large but the spec isn’t as good as the Vitus:
Medium or large Trance so say on stock here:
Anything at On-One/Planet X that you fancy? They seem to have stock.
Probably easier to move to somewhere with more gnar at the moment.
I love short-travel 29er FS bikes but I'm struggling to think of any in stock for your budget mate.
If you could sell your bike and buy another secondhand, I'd strongly recommend the Orange Stage 4 (with a 2-degree angleset).
Cotic Flaremax, website says due december which is getting way too close. might be a bit over budget £3.3k
At that spec, I'd look at an On One Scandal, cheaper.
I've got one and it just rides nicely.
Or just buy a lighter set of wheels for the enduro, with faster tyres?
I've got one of these

often overlooked but a great hardtail. Medium in stock too. Mine replaced a Cotic Solaris max, and I have to say the orange is a blast to ride.

Left field: Stooge Mk5. Frames due any day now AFAIK.
Was in the same predicament when I bought/built my MK4, and it's been a revelation.
Bought that whyte. It's in stock and a local bike shop so!
It's only for local winter duties. I'll swap tyres n stuff on the big bike again at some point. Though in its current spec it's lovely on the downs.
Looking forward to picking it up!
Just hope my mojo improves. Properly in a funk. My miles have never been so low!
It's hard times out there right now. There's a reason I'm riding a slightly too small Norco from Sports Direct.
Take a look on Bird, they seem to have some stock at the moment.
