edited April 2010 in MTB buying advice
Having decided to upgrade from my Scott full susser from a few years back, i have decided I'm pretty keen on either the 314 or the 514.

How different are the pair of these in terms of kit/ weight etc, and does it justify an extra £600 notes for the higher spec model? Or does it affect the handling in any way?

Testing a 314 at Malvern tomorrow but cant get onto a 514 to compare..

Any thoughts,

Thanks

    they are becoming hard to get now, very few left,
    the 514's are very well kitted, if you can justify it then i woudl say go for it!

    You'll have to let me know how it goes, I've been looking at the 514 looks amazing and is in my ever expanding short list for next bike.

    Bloody Hot Wheels sent a road bike instead of my Zesty, should now pick it up Tues/Weds of next week due to bank holiday delays.

    Will post first impressions in here
