Right so I've been looking for a new hard tail with a budget up to £1000 and like the look of the Scott Scale 960 or Cube Ltd Pro. I've been round my LBS's and tried a couple of bikes out and really like the Scale 960. But then they went and complicated things...

They've got the Scale 950 2013 model on offer at £1200 which is near identical to the 2014 model at £1400 just without the new paint job and the usual annual upgrades. Is the £200 extra for 2013 950 worth it over a 2014 960. I think the Fox fork is a good step up for £200... but I'm conscious you can always look invitingly at the next step up...

    The 2013 950 has better components, better brakes. Fairly sure the forks are a bit better also, and its lighter.

    My advice is get the older one.

    Yeah that's the way I'm leaning. Hopefully going to check it out again later and this will probably seal the deal.

    Just told my wife that VolatileMike says I should get the more expensive bike, imagine my stunned face when she said that if VolatileMike says to get I should get it...
