   I know this is radical new territory here, but can I have recommendations for a sub £1k hardtail?
   I wanted a Vitus Sentier SLX 2017 but they've sold out. Bit gutted now.

   My Carerra Fury started out a less than £1k. Then fairies took bits and swapped them. Then I did a PowerPoint to the wife to make the case so I could buy a Cotic. When she found out how much it cost she went a similar colour to Cotic Orange. Fortunately she does not know the password to my CRC account.....

   2017 bikes getting to limited sizes now. What size?

   Spend an extra £65 and get a Giant XTC Advanced 29er 3 from Rutland?

   Looks good Matt. Where was it £1k? It's worth it just for the components.

    Bright colours are a no go too. All my bikes are a similar dark grey / black so I can sneak them in under the radar.

    Under £1k or 'around' £1k?

    There's the Vitus sentier 2018 models, the VR for £999 (£900 after discount) or the VRS+ for £1299 (£1170 after discount), both with semi plus 2.6" tyres.

    2017 Sentier for £800 looked a good deal, I was on the verge of buying one too.
