I was looking at the Jeht also, tho the starling seems to cover the same bases. Altho starling don’t have any affordable shocks for their full builds at the mo, and the only brakes they carry are maguras (which I’m not keen on thanks to you :-). Not insurmountable issues but minor nagging faff.

and the only brakes they carry are maguras (which I’m not keen on thanks to you :-).
Which is fair, but - I do think I've cracked the code on mine now, if you are in Londons famous London, or can meet at e.g. Surrey Hills you are welcome to have a go on my trail bike (135/150) with fully working Magura brakes...

Echoing Dammit, you're welcome to have spin on my Flaremax if large is about the right size for you. Also London based and in Surrey every so often

To add an opposing view I'd pick the Jeht - it's that bit more capable, and I doubt that it's much slower than the Flaremax going up, but will be able to help you go faster more securely on the downs.
The Flaremax is (as the Cotic site states) more of a downcountry bike than a trail bike.
I'd be aiming at 140 rear/150 front (which is almost what my bike is, and I suspect most are going to recommend what they know).
