Nukeproof did have US warehouse and some distribution. You could try to find bike in the US to save on shipping. CRC has all the frame parts discounted, possibly buy some service parts from them.
Shock and fork warranty is a plus vs used. If the frame doesn't have a reputation for problems and you are not a bike barker, I'd go for it if you are not a bike flipper. If the frame explodes, you could probably buy a used or NOS Status for $400 that someone bought but did not get around to building. Some of my best purchases have been from companies that have gone under. Guess I did get screwed on a Naxo binding back in the day, that dumb.

Huge sale at pedal pushers this weekend in golden
Stoped by today all bike 25% to 50% off
There were good deals there

Looks like they have nukeproof, Scott and RM at 50%. Anyone see any vertical hitch racks or rigid 29er fork at +40%?

Canyon Spectral should check a lot of the boxes. I currently have a Spectral 125, and that with more squish sound like a bigger bike, but not "too endurobro"

Lot's of sale on CRC/Wiggle etc currently. Vitus Escarpe and Sommet have gotten pretty good reviews
