So what do you guys think? Let's say you know "someone" who could hypothetically be in this position and is trying to make up his (or her...) mind but can't...what would you do?

Bike Requirements:
* 66 - 67 Degree Head Angle (willing to go 0.5 either way)
* Min 150mm travel, Ideally 160mm travel, but no more than 170mm
* Must be AM rig (climb to the top, rip it down)


[No freaking 29er talk, please]
[But rather that than suggest a Specialized!]

EDIT: A LOT OF SUGGESTIONS SO FAR AND ALTHOUGH SOME HAVE BEEN FOOD FOR THOUGHT, NONE MADE IT TO THE LIST. SO PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE FOR WHAT'S ON THE LIST. Feel free to drop a comment below in any case.

I'd get a Raleigh watchamacallit.

My bad. I was thinking of a Giant Reign...

Remedy's come down in travel, but still a good option. Slash will have to be this one:

As much as you'd expect me to have clicked the Intense, I reckon the plastic Nomad is an amazing machine...

Does Turner still manufacture the 6 pack? It used to be their 160mm beast. The Turner 5 spot looks awesome but just like my Intense 5.5 it is more trail bike than an AM bike.

6 pack is no more, RFX will be heir to the thrown. True about the 5-Spot, but so too is the Sukuma. Blurring the lines a bit...
