scooby_doo_do Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Good morning all, I've got a cycle to work scheme that i'm thinking of joining but i'm unsure on what bike to go for. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/reviews on the below? Giant Talon 29er 0 2012 Scott Scale 29 Team 2012 Felt Nine Comp 29 er 2012 Specialized Carve Comp 29 2012 Cannondale Trail SL 29 er 2 2012 Whistle Miwok 1160D 2012 Lapierre Pro Race 229 2012 I've decided on the 29" wheels as i think they should be good for some gentle off-road stuff along with some normal road action. At the moment i think i like the Specialized one - but not too sure on the others.. Although as i've not been on a bike for 2/3 years i don't actually have a clue what to look for anymore - and i don't know much about the components they all use. Any adive/reviews greatly appreiciated. Thanks Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I would agree with you and go with the Specialized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilp9876 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have a specialized and would recommend them, although I've never tried a 29er. I would advise you to get a few demo bikes though and actually try them since they all feel different, you cannot always trust the reviews to get a bike that suits you, plus its good fun to try a couple.
