Had looked at the trigger but was unsure re the shock maintenance and no dropper post fitted.

I'd go for the Calabra myself, even if you don't get on with it the kit is worth the price, just do a frame swap....I'm half tempted to buy one to update my nomad!

Don't get the cadabra! I had 2, both of them the magic link hit the iscg mounts. Got my money back in the end.
Get the Process.

I prefer the look of the process but with 'only' 150mm of travel you might get sneered at.At that price, either of the Kona's look an absolute bargain.

And they have a further 10 % off with the current code 8)
The nukeproof only has 130 😯
Not a lot of love for that one and that's the one I was leaning towards.

Have a look at the Bird Aeris, if you can wait for it to arrive.

Or wouldn't the Mega AM be more in line with the Konas you're looking at there?

The Process is likely to be quite weighty, esp with that fork. The Cadabra looks like trouble waiting to happen.

Or this might be your best bet under £2k. Looks like it's back in stock soon...

Nukeproof looks alright, but it doesn't seem to be the lightest 130mm travel bike in the world.(30lbs for the small). Its also £500 more than the Kona's, but I suppose it has got the 'right size' wheels on it.

Anybody know anybody that's got the yt? Just wondered what the actual cost to buy one and get it shipped etc is

I got one of the Process from CRC as a get well present for myself, since the Cotic Rocket doesn't seem to be happening, awesome bike, after I spend a chunk on a CCDBair and the mission control damper for the Lyriks. The shock and fork as spec'd are very basic.

That's the thing, I really didn't want to upgrade anything as this is a big purchase for me.
