Dammit’s adventures in mountain biking

27.5, 120mm, cheap and cheerful, tonnes of upgrade potential. Maybe too cheap and cheerful.

29er, Slightly less cheap, bit more cheerful? No idea if it's any good or not, but it says Scott on it, so it can't be awful.

Ladies' version in teal, or unisex in orange. Not sure there's any spec difference.

Has a dropper post, which seems significant - but has a front mech, which seems a bit retro.

Perfect for spinning up the SDW

Fork is the more obvious weak spot but forgivable at that price I guess. Unforgivable at £2k though.

I refer you to the thread title

Oh. Yeah.

Leans a bit more towards trail than XC, but yeah it's pretty much a non lefty version of the Habit that i own.

It might be a bit porky compared to a trailified XC biek

5'6" seems to be at a crossover point between S/M on the Specialized sizing chart.

^ Yeah that's good, spec is balanced.

5 months? Did you buy an MTB yet?

Talking to me? If so, yes - 5 months ago.

this bike looks rad

I really like the little SWAT box :-)

mmmm!
that + paintjobs are the best thing about specialized imo

They only have M, the person in question has revealed that they've been height-doping, and are in fact 5"5.5"

Is this the answer?

Or

Any reason to not get the Habit SE?
