	His next purchase should most definitely be anything enduro labeled. Also the biggest backpack he can find with a 100oz water capacity at a minimum. I wouldn't be seen around Charlotte area trails with anything less than 160mm of travel...

	Quote: I will interject with some proper bro etiquette. You have a hardtail 29er for most of the riding you do so if you also build a FS XC at this point you will appear soft and indecisive to other dudes. Another XC oriented bike at this point is only acceptable if it does not have gears. To be frank, front suspension would be overkill too. If you rebuild your FS frame or go with a different frame it needs to be a longer travel All Mtn rig. Current color combos to consider are black and hot pink, or blue and neon yellow. Do you even know what a fat bike is?! The riding you do 99.99% of the time should be an afterthought when choosing your new whip. What to do next should be clear.<---- Tounge-in-cheek. One thing for sure is that these tough choices are fun to make! Good luck with your build! nailed it! How are you gonna KOM the parking lot to bridge section at Sherman on anything less than this...?
