Saracen mantra or Felt 60

edzalv

Hi everyone! My first post here, so be gentle

So, i am looking for a new Mtb in £500 range. And ive came across two bikes that i like the most, but don't know witch one to choose. Felt Nine(or seven) 60 vs Saracen Mantra 2014.

Felt nine 60 - http://www.wheelies.co.uk/p67253/Felt-N ... ?ss=751362
Felt Seven 60 - http://www.wheelies.co.uk/p67241/Felt-7 ... -Bike.aspx
I believe, that they both are identical bikes, except wheel size?

Saracen Mantra 2014 - http://www.wheelies.co.uk/p67450/Sarace ... -Bike.aspx

I really love the looks, but dont know how good they are. Mainly ill bee riding in the city, but id love to go out in to the mud from time to time, but not too often, because i font have many mtb track around me. I would love to ask about the wheel size, but i wouldnt want to start a hell storm
Ill be grateful for any help. Cheers

The two felts have a rotten fork at this price point, they are also a little low rent in the drivetrain, The Saracen is pretty similar.

Are you tied to wheelies, as the haven't got a name for offering good value for money, what is your budget?

Thank for your reply. So youre saying, that Felts are bad investment? Im not searching for the best bike out there, i simply dont wat to buy a crappy bike for the money.

Im not tied to wheelies, but im pretty much tied to http://www.sunsetmtb.co.uk/ And my budget is £500. Could strech to £550

Mountain bikes are not investments, unless you have a mint, real Klein.
