To build another one

I was chatting to spence at the weekend and i thought i'm not riding enough to justify 2 of the stable. and when i do ride i think the other might be better for certain terrain.
When we did Afan a few weeks back i used the 29er, it was awesome (once i remembered to unlock the rear suspension after the climbs) So i was thinking i need a bike that combines the two features that make both my bike so appealing.
The YT is awesome, great kit, super plush and pedals well, but its much more bike than i am rider if you know what i mean?
If i do any Enduro's again this year, I spotted a few 29ers and if Cedric can win on one on the world stage, it cant be that wrong to use one at my level?
Also if i have a 140mm travel 29er i could still use it for the odd XC race?

Anywhoooo I'm justifying it to myself.

So i'm thinking a Intense Carbine (open to other suggestions)
Rockshox 140mm forks
Carbon AM Wheels (to keep the weight down)
And a full groupset from Merlin?

Any suggestions to alternatives?
Not thinking right away, will spend a bit of time reseaching etc, and the two bikes are hardly getting used as i'm using the Fatty (which i'm keeping) So if anyone needs a FS 120mm carbon 29er or a 150mm FS enduro bike let me know.

Speak to Evan about the YT as he may be interest (though he was going to build something up).

Yeah i've sent him a message.

And I now have a lot of calculations & head scratching to do

How much is the yet and is it a large?

Just buy it and ride it.

i can spend other peoples money far too easily....

Its a medium Andy, 17.5" i think it would look tiny on you? but your welcome to try it out.

Sounds a bit small, back on the hunt

There was a large frame nomad the other day looked lovely build as well

On ebay

Took a couple of pics after giving them both a clean earlier

How much are you selling the YT for? Mayknow someone who is interested...

I've given firat dibs to Evan.

I remember you saying you had the same forks and shock as me
id hate to give up my dt swiss stuff

maybe talk about the 29er carbon tonight
is it frame only?

Its complete but happy to talk
