Has anyone got a Felt QX 85 2012 hybrid?

I'm after one of these (to replace my commuter and winter hack) http://www.evanscycles.com/products/felt/qx-85-2012-hybrid-bike-ec032674#features

I'm thinking of flying to London for a very quick trip and get one from Evans - £600 in England buys a better bike than £900 here.

How do they ride/handle? Are the tyres OK, or should I upgrade to something more resilient?

Thanks for any info.

I have a 2011 qx65 which i commute on to work and rides of upto 35miles - very good bike, i've put 28mm slicks on mine instead of the 37mm tyres it came with

i only paid 249.99 for mine brand new from rutland cycles

Thanks for your reply.

The bike I'm after falls between the 80 and 90 models, and doesn't seem to be on Rutland cycles list

Probably be an Evans visit, depending on availability.
