If you are going post-a-bike have a look at ghost bikes. One of my mates bought one a bit back and he likes it..

Ideally I'm looking for a hard tail with a maximum budget of £1000 so any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.


if you stretched the your budget you could go for the bird zero4 at £1175

If you want a hard tail get a Bird.
I ride sometimes with the guys that build it which is done a few miles down the road and its a fab bike with great spec and geometry.

its only 130mm travel aswell so only 10 less than the 650b personally the 650b is the better bike you still get an agile fast bike

29ers are fast uphill and down just not quite as agile they do roll well over rocks etc but if it only comes dwon to colours for you then buy the 29er
