I currently have a giant xtc advanced 27.5 3 with full xt, and light bicycle wheels. I hope to get 2400 euros for it.
I will move up to a 29er, and i am willing to conseder suggestions, or even bikes if you guys have any for sale.
Right now, i am considering these following bikes.
Radon black sin 9.0 (carbon frame, x0 groupset, fox terralogic fork, dt swiss 1700 wheels)

cube Elite Super HPC Pro (carbon frame, x0/x9 groupset,xt brakes, rockshox reba fork, Fulcrum Red66 wheels)
http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/cube ... /wg_id-117
cube Reaction GTC SLT 29 (carbon frame, xt groupset, rockshox rsi fork, DT CSW MA 1.9 wheels)
http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/cube ... /wg_id-117
I can´t test ride any of these bikes, as they will be bought online, and the wheels aren´t too important, as i will probably order some carbon rims down the line.
Which bike would you choose, Any difference in the carbon on the two cubes? price is around 1900- 2200 euro.

I'd look at reframing yours, you'll only really need frame, forks and wheels (which you'll be getting anyway).
What usage? (XC and/or race I presume) the Reba isn't a top level fork (merely very good) and the RSi, while dead tasty is quite heavy and comes with a bespoke heavy front hub you can't replace, so of the three I'd go for the Radon, looks a pretty good spec for the money and the frame weight is only one tier off the very best and a decent basis for the future.
