Been road riding for many years and now looking to spend around œ750 on a hardtail MTB. Unfortunately I know nothing about MTB's. Have seen a Felt Q920 which looks the sort of thing I have in mind, general use on trails and Dartmoor and the odd 22 mile round trip to work when the weathers poor. Is this a good buy? What else should I have in mind? Anyone with any experience of this bike?
All help gratefully received!

Greg.

If only I could ride as fast as my bike looks!

    From the info on the Wiggle website, the Felt looks like a good buy for the money.

    TBH any hardtail from one of the big names at this price isn't going to be a turkey, I'd wonder though if aiming for a bike at this price point without disc brakes would mean better kit, lower weight, plus the option for discs in the future if the bug bites hard.

    Managed to pick one of these up for a mate, brand new but I think the previous year's model, for just under œ400. Best MTB I have ever ridden for that money. Brakes were not the best, and were the only obvious money saving bits of the bike, but decent brakes don't cost the earth.

    Wheelies ARE cool.
