... just been in the market for a MTB, got the Merida 96 XT. I struggled (over a 5 month period) to find any second hand dual sus Merida MTB anywhere thats not older than 5 yrs.

 

If they are such crap bikes... why is that the case?

Nobody said Meridas are crap. Giant is just better - especially the Anthem.

Recently bought a Giant Anthem 2nd hand on Bikehub, brilliant bike! Rode some of my previous routes and smashed all my PRs. You can't go wrong with one.

 

In the same breath, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the main brands, just depends on how much you want to spend and what is available in your price bracket.

 

Just a tip, go for the better frame instead of one with better components, you can always upgrade components as they wear out whereas you will be "stuck" with the frame for a while.
