I always take a punt with mine and see what happens. Only bought one pig, a Niner Air9.
I think some folk on forums and some reviewers spend too much time worrying over things like seat and head angles. Personally I don’t take much notice and generally decide by what looks like it’ll be fun to ride.If you’ve no idea at all then demo rides are your friend. Cotic do loads of demo days around the country.

Decide what terrain you'll mostly be riding; the faster and steeper, the more travel and slacker head angle you should go for.
Then choose the nicest colour.

How do you guys normally decide which frame/bike to buy? I'm looking at geo charts for bikes I like, for example the Cotic Rocketmax and the Marin Alpine trail and they are very different. The reviews online are not very useful...
