Nah, if I buy a second bike it will be a traillie, something that can carry me down to the Pyrenees or into Spain/Portugal then do a bit of light off-roading on mountain trails and unclassified dirt roads.

A 2003 XT600 can be picked up from about £1200 on ebay or £1500 in a dealer. I like an XT660 but that needs a budget of about £2-2500, and I'm not sure I want to spend that much.

These are cheap, but that extra few hundred quid seems to get you a much newer bike

I know how you feel, I seem to spend a lot of time on ebay and checking out dealers sites etc, hopefully in the new year though, good luck with it mate.
