What area? This just posted in another thread is a screaming deal for L/XL but is US only. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/stance-29-1-2022?partnumber=2201005108&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22373161406&gbraid=0AAAAAC-bgioxPWGY5E_GeVxdRbu9C6GBb&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjL3HBhCgARIsAPUg7a6s11V1vGEjd5IYqgLrfHgFaE9xBToKM6RfxaL4flfpX0En_M86UA8aAoqGEALw_wcB
I would go with either the giant stance or specialized stump jumper. Most aftermarket support and modern geometry.
The Stumpy, end of story.
do not go with that giant stance, they’re on sale new for $800 from giant right now, XL is on sale too

Stumpy, but it’s overpriced
Stumpjumper
Stumpjumper for sure out of the options listed.
Stumpy for maybe 1500 tops.
The Stumpy is good but wildly over-priced. A brand new one is $2200 with a lifetime frame warranty and better drivetrain. Expecting $1900 for a Fox Rhythm/NX stumpy is insane.
Where? I’m coming to get that Stumpjumper
That mission 4 is OLD, iirc. Like – 2010 era. It’s definitely not worth 800. Not to me at least
Giant is overpriced you can get a new one for that price
FYI That Giant bike is going for $750 on clearance right now on Giant’s website
Offer the stumpy guy $1100
Paid 1800 for my stumpy 2 years ago, but it came with magura mt7 brakes.
I would pay 1500 for the stock bike, the proceeds to get rid of sram components.
