Hello all,

Looking to upgrade my existing MTB with some Xmas money now received!

Looking for a hardtail 29er with 22/23 inch frame (I am 6'5)

Have been browsing for the last month or so reading a few reviews and comparing etc

Any thoughts on a budget upto approx £1,100-£1,200?

Am leaning towards one of the following:

CUBE LTD SL 29 MOUNTAIN BIKE 2013 - HARDTAIL MTB

Specialized Carve Pro 29er 2012 Mountain Bike
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/spe ... e-ec030143


Any thoughts or suggestions?

Many thanks

    Personally the Spesh, but I'd go sit on them first and get the one that fits.

    Happy Christmas!
    You might want to consider the Cube Reaction GTC pro (carbon) 29 which is not much more especially if you can still source a 2012 bike and is great. Otherwise not much to chose between them on spec.
    All of these things....
