After my first proper hardtail. Don't know much about MTBs, but based on a bit of research I'm ideally after AL frame, 130mm travel, 29ers & a relatively slack head angle. Have been looking at bikes like the Whyte 629 & Santa Cruz Chameleon, but I cant afford these new!
Happy to be educated on any of the above. Have looked in to steel hardtails a bit. Love the look of the stanton switchback, but can't decide if steel is the right way to go.
Budget is around £1000. Hopefully someone can help!
