* Spez Epic 29er - aluminium, X9 mix, Roval wheels, Magura brakes, Fox shocks

* Giant AnthemX 29er 1 Advanced – carbon, XT throughout, Rockshox shocks

* Merida Big Ninetynine X0 carbon – carbon, X0 throughout, Rockshox shocks

Get the Alum Giant. Then at least you get a new frame every year or two...

I like that idea, but WHERE?!?!?!

[VicanZA]

specialized sounds like a rip to me..go second hand on the hub...some good deals to be had.

[Rydogg]

The Merida big ninetynine XT is pretty good value for money.

Not sure what bike that is... The XTC is not an Anthem. The XTC is a hardtail bike.
