    Check the specs on the manufacturers website to get an idea of the differences. What's your budget also and which do you like the look of? :-)

    Personally, I'd go for the Stumpy, but then I'm biased :-D

    I looked at these two and the specialized does have better components, but, everyone has a specialized.

    I think the scotts are way to expensive this year and don't like the paint jobs.

    Having said that I still haven't bought a carbon hardtail, been looking for 6 months, going to wait for the 2010 bikes, not that long now.

    Give the cannondales a look, really nice frames.

    Luckily budget is around £2300 so both bikes are in or around same price, but was looking at spec and spesh looks better!!

    Very true on the good value for money. Wouldn't have bought 4 otherwise ;-) Still want more though, that's the problem :roll:
