You could also consider a Ti hardtail, $862 for the frame, and with some very careful parts picking you could build it up for under $2500 and have it be 23lb or so.

I'm not having any problems with wear on my Tomahawks, but I never, ever skid.
Shattered both ankles, couldn't type for a week.
21lbs and it's even a 26". Bet you could get it for $2500 or less. Parts spec is a bit of a mutt though, needs a M980 crank and some custom wheels IMHO.

Get a Specialized Camber 29" and be done with it.
I've got four 10 speed dura-ace chains in random rotation on various bikes for several years now, every time I take them off, degrease and wear check them (hanging and steel tape measure), I get no...
Everybody on the Internet is making six figures, it's super easy.
Sweet Wings used an external BB bearing in the non drive side only, the other side was internal, the crank bolted though it with a spline system - I still own a pair. The Magic Motorcycle crank is...
I really liked the long 27.2 titanium post on my old titanium hardtail, really took the edge off the ride. Most 31.6 alloy posts ride like a brick.
Pretty big for me, I prefer 26", standard tapered head tubes, threaded BB's, 30.9mm posts, post mount brakes, 180/160mm IS rotors, Shimano drive train / cassette body, 104mm chainrings, 31.8mm bars...
Damn that sucks...heal up soon and everybody else stay safe.
How so? Yeah it's a little crazy and I don't see anyone online doing this specifically with the axle nut, but it's not the first time someone has home modified a rear axle on a bike. I'm vaguely...
Modern bike maintenance / build / modification is a minefield of standard incompatibility. The only things I can think of that are mostly universally comparable on modern adult bicycles are 9/16''...
I'm a bit disappointed maxxis came out with a 26x2.8" DHF/DHR2, when a 26x2.6 or modern casing sizing 26x2.5 would be plenty big. I've got a 26x2.5 shorty that is huge.
A 29er with a 64 degree head angle? Does it steer like a pontoon boat?
Pay particular attention to bike checks of pro riders, you'll see that many of them are not running the over the top trends that the industry is pushing.
Yeah that's kinda tough to cough up $5k for a bike for a large majority of people. I scraped by for most of the last 15 years spending a few hundred a year (or far less) on various gradual upgrades...
At 13? I was going huge on sheet ice with straight skis.
Hard to beat this:

Ehhh, I think that now that Epicski is gone, we'll be getting a bunch more questions and new members that are casual skiers.
These guys will sell you a BRAND NEW pair of kendo's with a very good 13 din binding for $540, mounted and shipped. They are a high end ski.
...
Hard to beat the value of Hope Pro 4's, you can get a pair from universal cycles for about $250.
I really like my new Hadley/Flow's wheelset, but the boost rears are out of stock and they are...
In that case you don't want 14 dins. They ALL have plastic toes with metal heels, in the models you are looking for. 16 din and up for full metal. The 12 din's are all plastic, ski well and are...
With 300 psi in the rear shock and 50 psi in the rear tire.....
Well, I just thought this was worth posting because the guy is huge on Youtube these days and is riding a VERY unique bike setup.
I have ancient stick built plywood cabinets, going to stain them from light tan to red and put in new nickel pulls and hinges. Under $200. Will look much better with the existing off white/light tan...
So I saw Fabio Wibmer's bike check, It looks like he's riding a 29er Stumpjumper frame with a 27.5 fork and wheels???

Then pretend you're Has Rey from 90's television....

What kind of rim damage do they have? It can't be repaired some how?
If you could fix the rim and get a disc rotor on there some how, they'd be baller on a modern 27.5 bike. 650B!!!!!
These bikes would be soooo much better with 29" wheels....

Seriously? I carry that when I ride a mile from my house. Plus a shock pump.
As a side note, you may want to have a look at the closeout pricing on this bike:
...
To offer some more detailed advice, it would be helpful if you posted your size/weight, what kind of tires you are running and your current wheelset specs. How rough are the trails, and how long are...
That's a boatload of money and high end parts to put into that bike.
