edited February 2010 in MTB buying advice
Just looking to spend some hard earned on a bike on the Ride 2 Work Scheme.
Our company has chosen Evans as it's partner in the scheme so it rules out my prefered LBS.

Had a look at the Felt Six Comp 2009, has anyone got one or anyone who knows about mountain bike specs give me an idea of what this bike will be like.

I more of a roadie these days so have no idea what's good or bad in MBK world.
Not a complete rookie though, I have a Spesh Stumpjumper FSR from a few years ago which I love, want the H/tail for more of a racey bike for the few MBK races I do I'll also be sharing mountain bikes with the Mrs for a while.

Thanks in advance

    i own a felt pal (and i like being in a minority cos i rarely see other felt bikes around )
    anyways , i have the Q500 HT and i like it alot.
    owned it for 7 months now (bought from evans ) and its been great fun to ride with no defects or problems to report.
    its entry level to be fair , but frame feels comfy yet agile , with great finish on the paintwork.
    know nothing about the FS bkes so thats all i can give you
    price wise , they're not as competative as they need to be so bargin hard.
    regards.

    Thanks, that's exactly the sort of feedback I was after.
    I also own a Felt but it's a TT bike along with two other road bikes and the spesh FS bike.
    Want a hardtail this time, will get it ordered today hopefully!

    Thanks

    I bought it and I love it!

    Makes the Stumpy FSR feel slow and heavy! D'oh!

    Nice bikes aren't they? Have you noticed how light it is? I find it also turns in quickly as well. Its a nice ride.

    I love my bike too 8)
