After getting back to ridning after 10 years off, its time to replace my tired old Scott.

Had a test on a Rocky mountain altitude 50 today. Nice ride, looks good, love the spec. Any owners out there with opinions??

Looked at a Trek Fuel ex8, but wasnt alolowed to test it ( different shop) Looks good, has good reviews but I was after something with nearer 150mm travel.

Anything else out there to consider for £1500 - 1700

Everything really, only been riding again for a month or so, so haven't really been to many places.
I enjoy riding allsorts, ups, downs and allsorts. Just been out in the local woods at a few jump section tonight.

So i suppose i want something that can take it all, but can still climb back up the hill.

I had my mind made up on a Commencal meta 5.5 but they,ve sold out of large so back to square one again!

Do they still have the Pitch Pro at the usual price or have they reduced it yet? My brother is after one but nearly everywhere has sold out of the medium one.

If you're after a pitch, dont count on a discount as its being discontinued, so no 2012 model.
