Yet another bike recommendation (Cross-country) request. Got some tips from a friend on features to strive for, but still not sure where to begin the search:
"Get a carbon frame, full suspension, xc bike with 4 inches of travel front and back, and minimum Shimano xt or Sram X9 components. In stores that will run you serious money; consider used."

Thoughts welcomed!
Santa Cruz Tallboy carbon. One of the best bikes I've owned. You can find a few for sale used. I knew 5 people who owned one and loved it. I sold mine for a bigger travel bike and got a 2015 Specialized Stumpjumper Carbon Expert Evo 29er.
