Morning, I’m after an Xc bike, budget is upto around £1500 so I’m thinking second hand to get more bike for my cash.
I’m struggling to find ‘the one’ though.
I plan on doing a few races this year as soon as we’re up and running again.
I’m thinking 29er, carbon frame and XL as I’m 6ft5 any recommendation or has anyone got something for sale that might fit the bill
Cheers

If you want to spend less by a Specialised Chisel - it's their cheaper alu xc bike, but it has a really light frame and is really comfy. Spend the difference on some nice light wheels? Review
