    You could up the sum easily by more than 2k with an Actofive P-Train frame. The price is 6750€ without a shock. Its fully cnc machined out of an aluminum block, stunningly beautiful and you can choose your anodization color (for even more money).
    Edit: Fun fact since you mentioned that Trickstuff also comes from Freiburg: Cornelius Kapfinger was the original Trickstuff engineer who helped develop their brakes, I think he also helped develop the Maxima. He has his own brake now - The Intend Trinity which lives in the same price bracket.

      Exactly my thought. I owned a set of those wheels on my XC race bike and traded them for Reserve 28 XCs because i thought they where to stiff, even for my race bike. They would totally break them.

    I ride with rev grips for last 3 years. Love them. I had constant pain in my left hand after a bad crush. Grips helped me to keep on riding while healing instead of taking a break. For me $100 is not that much money for little extra comfort on 6K bike. BTW I also have that bottle cage. Dunno why it is $118. It is listed at $80 here in US and I paid about $50 on sell. Best color match for Factory fork.

    if the dc forks arent compatibe with the build just because they are downhill the wheels also have to go. the most expensive wheels you can get are handbuilt enve rims on chris kings (or using dt 180s i9 hubs or besat components rims) will get you to around 3k removing 2000 euoros, with getting components from good shops you can also remove around 1k, other than this i think the numbers are fairly accurate even though i think you can find more expensive parts if you dig hard enough, also you can more expensive pedals like the garmin ones the connect to your computer

      Agreed, as cool as they are wheels aren’t up to enduro spec however something like onyx/extralite/tune hubs on berd spokes on some posh carbon rims could be up to standard, also the pulley cage isn’t compatible with the new sram transmission and they would have to run a sram t type chainring too. Compatibility for not only the parts to work but also for the bike to work as intended I think is important

You basically said that the bike should be able to work, but a enduro racerig cannot be combined with an XC wheelset, even if it was to be 10 grand! Same goes for pedals: I know that opinions may go different directions on this one, but I personally woudn't want to tackle an enduro race/day in the bikepark with pedals that literally are eggbeaters.
    It's like brands trying to shed weight of a bike by putting XC-sidewalled tyres on a DH-Bike.

    We've done this before, haven't we? I came up with a bike for 17K USD or so. All "practical" parts, no bling except for a custom paint job. All hypothetical of course. Atherton AM 170, 5500 USD frame only

    You definitely forgot the Garmin Powermeter Pedals! For just 1000 quid you get accurate measurements. - of course you will additionally need a gps cycle computer to show the data at all...
    And those pedals are probably not even the most expensive Powermeter option.

    Well I will stick with my cheap bikes. Still it's fun to see what you could do if you had the money. I think my Norco Ride 26 is my most heavily modified bike and that's just got a Colony pivotal seat and post and the Dabomb Axe pedals and with all that doesn't even come over $1000 dollars for the whole bike. Even my Trek Marlin 7 with upgraded handlebars, bottle cage, pump and pump bracket, drink bottle, pack rack and mud guards goes over $1600 and that's a fun machine. They do suit my riding but of course I am not as hard hitting as you guys are on a bike. I am talking Australian dollars too guys if you're thinking cheap builds. My bikes will handle a bit of punishment though.

    Here's the thing. Car parts cost the same when talking performance wise. Bike companies are absolutely ripping their customers or should I say companies who sponsor riders are getting ripped.

      and one of the biggest offenders is Yeti. Seriously overpriced, and yes, I've ridden a Yeti and it ain't anything special.

    Last national level race bike I fitted out in 2012, we had a budget of $1 usd per gram of weight saved in order to hit a target weight of 20lbs. ready to race, with 2 (empty) bottles and a toolkit. How it worked was that if a given item weighed 250g, if there was one of near equal quality/utility weighing 200g, it was worth $50 more. Frame and fork were spec'd by the rider, which gave me a fit, since the 'new' SID had actually *gained* 250g.! That, and our so called 900g frame actually weighing 1050g. really set us back. An amazing wheelset, tensioned as tight as a roadie's butthole put us back in the running.😄🤣😉

    Definitely seeing way less kids riding bikes out on the trails it's only the same bunch of rich kids now with their full suspension bikes.
    See people don't get it. The trails nowadays require a bike that costs too much for anybody but the rich.
