Ride It Like You Stole It!

As you know I've had a bad smash on the fixed commuter.
It will either be written off, or not but I may get some cash from compensation.
Budget wise, say maybe £1,500-£2,000 if the fixed get's written off and incidental expenses recovered 'short term interim payment) or possibly a it more on the budget,
Personally like hard tails, but Dan_bo recommended a full susser with spine injury.
OK, most likely alloy frame, as carbon will take too big a chunk out of the budget.
XT or SRAM X9/X0 spec components and ideally 2x10 transmission not 1 x 10 - won't suit my riding - prefer XC riding and having no silly gear jumps.
Mid rage forks that are serviceable (possibly by me) OK accept rear might need shop.
So far like Boardmans, and were sec as been dropped a it I'd stick better bits on. Other choice is On-One or maybe custom build or off the shelf something. Fancy something a little different though. An Orange P5 might be out of budget.
So any half decent bikes i can window shop at whilst I dream about getting back on the bike ?
PS Would anyone recommend the jersey's with built in spinal protection considering mine will be a little weak and won't want to knock it, even in a slip on mud.
