I'm looking for a hardtail 29er and have a budget of around 1500. I mainly do single track and fireroads around Swinley forest and a bit of xc. My current bike is a quite old Scott al hard tail with updated brakes and forks.
As the new 2012 bikes are starting to trickle through an there are some quite good deals around. I can get a Scott Scale Elite for 1199 in large (not sure what size this is though 19 or 21 inch?). I can also get a fisher/trek paragon for 1199 (19 inch). Can also save £30 on the paragon on a cashback deal.
I have been following the whyte 829 and although it is a little out of my price range I would consider it. I'm looking for the right bike and am willing to wait. Do people think the deals I've mentioned ate any good or should I wait for the 2012 models? The 2012 paragon will actually be a superfly Alu HT for 1600 and I think the Scott will be around 1400 but the same APEC and just minor tweaks.
