A friend is after a 29er. XC orientated really. Any recommendations? He's looking at a Cube Acid and a Trek Mamba. Anything else work a look?
Cheers,

Well I'd tell your "friend" that 29er's are quite normal lots of people try it, but to be careful....and to go for a Solaris"

This ^^
I started off on a scandal 29er. cheap as chips builds and ride really well.
Kinesis FF29 full build for £1.5k
Forme Winscar 29 XT, same price but all shimano XT, basically the same frame.
I ride a Grand Canyon so I'll recommend that.
Stable, fast, lovely.
Very very happy with it.
Scandal vote here!
I started with a Scandal ages ago and for the money you can't go wrong. I ride mine lots but have it totally rigid now, mans riding!
i got a giant xtc in the end of year sale last year! only 29er ive ridden a lot, id recommend, so worth considering! gets great write ups as well
Hi there Ben,
You might want to check out Canyon. We deal direct with the customer so by cutting out the middle men we pass on a lot of savings directly to you.
Check out the Yellowstone 29er or the Grand Canyon AL if you want to spend a little more.

Those FF29er are bloody lovely.
The XTC carbon is pretty as well. Massive BB area so stiff as you like.
anything from Trek, Giant, Cube will be decent. but that canyon yellowstone looks real good value at that pricepoint.
