The Felt Q920 is £1250 in most places (for the 2012)! The 2011 can be got cheaper.

They are both fairly decently specced for £700, and would make a great intro to MTBing. The 920 does get the slightly better parts though.

However do you have a local stockist where you can try for size?

How about the Boardman HT Comp - been really impressed with mine. Controlled and well damped 120mm air fork, fairly light, good components. Highly recommended. Use money saved to buy some better pedals
