Dear All
Considering getting the 2010 XT. Read some of the comments about the cracks from 08/09. Also had a few doom sayers saying stones will fly thru the carbon fibre…
Any experiences to share?
Have test ridden the latest XT and it fair flew up the hills… Got Mountain Mayhem coming up and having just come back from 18 miles of mud on my Felt hardtail with rubbish clearance I'm feeling the need!
Found Formby Cycles doing a 3yr 0% deal with a 10% deposit.
Anyone done better than that?
Many thanks.

By golly they're a fugly bike. 😉
Has nobody brought you to your senses yet!

Why not look at look at a 2009 Flux with 120mm Maxle lite Rebas?
This would fly up and down the hills and probably be lighter and tougher.
Winstanleys have got the 2009 Rebas cheap and 2009 Flux are going cheap at Chain Reaction.
It'd come in cheaper and be far better (all IMHO of course)

Even the Stumpy FSR looks better than the Whyte.

Then why not wait till this one comes out.

Danti – I know they're not traditional looking but I just love the look of them!

Grahamh – what's that? ( apart from not as lovely as the Whyte 😉 )

It's a Marin of some sort (or a cheaper version of the Whyte (with 'decent' dropouts!) – I think.

Madyear, it’s a prototype Whyte, which may, or may not go into production later this year (2011 model). It has been given a name, but I can’t remember it off hand.

In use back in January.

Do folk really think they're ugly? There's one in my shop and it gets a lot of attention – everyone loves it.
