Why not a fan of the GT? I think it looks a little better than the Giant Anthem x i posted earlier and a little cheaper.
GT haven't made any great bikes in years. I'm not saying they are bad, because they aren't. The i-drive system is overly complex and never really worked....IMO.
Would you go with the Giant Anthem X over the GT then? Giant Anthem has smaller travel but does get better review whereas the GT is 100£ cheaper but has more travel.
Just need something to get up ok and downhill a little comfier than my hardtail
My 661 Shin/knee guards turned up today so hoping go to Grizedale next weekend.
personally i'd go for this http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1046007/ over the two you posted.
you could take a punt on this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Giant-Rei...ikeparts_SR&hash=item4163d30e2b#ht_526wt_1396 horrid colour but decent frame.
or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corsair-M...keparts_SR&hash=item2c63ede7d6#ht_1448wt_1396
I do like the specialized but its a large frame and im 5'10 so maybe a little bit of a push
Don;t like the giant
Put a bid in on the corsair one as it looks great, any idea what it's actually worth? Stuck a max bid of £300 in for now

i said this ages ago, i can live with the slow delivery but i've experienced bad customer service, them sending the wrong items (twice), very slow RMA (six months)and the hacking scare,all that and i've only ordered of them six times. i think it's fair to say i will never be using them again unless they are a big chunk cheaper then anywhere else.
Funny enough just had an email from chainreaction! I emailed them on the 17th as my couple of week old cassette had a ring crack when i was @ Grizedale and wanted to see if it was under warranty, they've advised they'll send a new one out and i don't have too send the old one back. not bad customer service i dont think (had some places make you send the faulty bit back first)
must admit that i get the feeling they are getting to big to cope. I've had 3 orders of instock items over the last year from them - all supposedly with free next day delivery - all ordered in the morning and none of them turned up next day - in fact one of them was 5 days just to dispatch and they couldn't even tell my why that was.

Went over Aston Hill this morning, beautiful weather. Only made 4 runs, mates bike chain snapped on two different occasions and a crash with a tree left his rear brake splurging oil which cut the day short! He is off on a cycling holiday tomorrow too so some last minute repairs for him :lol: First time I had been there since the work started on DH4, looking cracking!
Yeah i use them for the odd bit, can be expensive though.
