Hi guys,
Back from holiday and decided I've spent too long being indecisive :D
So either gonna go for a Vitus Sentier VRS or Whyte 901 - either would be a great bike compared to what I'm used to, which is an old Felt QX hybrid.
Is the Whyte worth the extra cash over the Vitus?
Use will be General mountain biking, nothing ultra hardcore, though hoping to get to proper trails as I learn the ropes.

A third choice would be the Pinnacle Iroko 2 but then I wouldn't be able to flip a coin :D

One advantage of the whyte is that there are Whyte dealers everywhere but the Vitus is mail order only, so I could support a local shop, and any issues would be easily fixed.
All the best :)

    You're right - and you are still indecisive!
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
