I am going to race MTB this summer for the first time in years. I used to race on my steel Breezer Lightning but it's no longer in service. My current rig is a very heavy Blur but I'm really more interested in racing on a hardtail again. it's been a while since I've shopped for a mountain bike and was looking for suggestions. I'd love steel but they're had to come by these days.

Tks in advance.
