Scott or Specialized would get my vote.... probably the Scott for me... RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

cant go wrong with a rockhopper, but i have a scott spark , maybe worth noting that the geomerty on scotts are set up more towards racing position for the rider so geared towards been lent forward more than norm.
ask the shop if you can take it out for a ride for a hour or so do same for the other bikes and see what your more comfortable with. also if your broad you might need to change the bars to get if comfy. (im quite broad and found the bars to be a couple inches to narrow for me so was hurting across shoulders)

just dont be like beancounter on his road bike steer clear of the tight bright lycra suits  only the dead truely know peace,
Bootneck its not a job its a way of life!

thanks all, i have been a fan of Specialized for a while although its a tad dearer
i may go for the Rockhopper, surprised no comments on the Trek or Giant Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Just because you MTB guys aren't comfortable with your sexuality and can't trust yourselves to ride in a group with other lycra clad MAMIL's  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Nothing wrong with riding in a group, however I think it's better to be at the back of the pack

So thats why your doing the L2P 24 Bc, these are the participants out training....

rear 2nd from the left blondie (i surmise as i only have the rear view) has gone full commando
what club are they from

Back on topic, went around a few of the shops today, after more research i noticed the Trek
had higher spec components in particular the front Shocks xc32 v xc28 and Shimano gearing
and cranks all round rather than Shimano/Suntour combinations which the Trek people hinted
needed consideration, that said i do like the look and feel of the Spec RH Comp so that will
likely be the bike of choice  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

How do you hope to get a Motor Torpedo Boat up a mountain?

Confused,

Surrey.

Well i took the advice of the most learned on the forum and ordered today the new
2014 Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29er, the 2014 model has 2 x 10 speed rather
than the 3 x 9 arrangement Should pick it up next weekend
