2.5k to spend on a XC / trail bike for enduro racing and general hacking around.
What would you choose?
Ladies and gentlemen your opinions please!

I'm guessing that is enduro as in marathon XC, rather than the all mountain / mini DH type thing?

Sweet bike for the price.
Might look at a rocky mountain, not great specs but they build a great frame.
2.5 you can get a almost full xtr equip cube on the 09 models at crc.
I think?

The rims are brilliant. So light, good price, been raced, alped, to wales and back, and generally not been riden very nicely for a wheelset which is under 1600g. Yet still perfect. Sealed very well tubeless as well, as you'd expect. Hard to compare, as I haven't riden that many wheels, but they feel pretty stiff to me.

Ah a picture of your bike...how surprising 
Thought the mods were gonna ban you if that pic appeared again  |
No that was only for unnecessary use of the picture..
And this thread was just begging for it..

By sayin that your admitting some serious deviant behaviour ,,
Having a sexual fantasy over a bike is just wrong , infact very wrong indeed !!!
