Sorry for the first post being about bike choice, but I know you guys will help me make up my mind 🙂

Bascially, it's between these two stated. I was erring towards the Canyon at the current price of £949 because of the fork (Fox 32 Float) but on researching, it doesn't seem to be [i]that[/i] much better than the RockShox Reba on the Felt, which is £110 cheaper(at the best price I can find) and has better all round components.
The Canyon does look better... not that that really matters...
For me it would be the canyon, I'm holding out (just) for the carbon version

The Rose is way over budget unfortunately. The Canyon really is the top of the budget.
Being lucky enough to have a number of bikes I have just bit the bullet and jumped on the 29er bandwagon and ordered a Grand Canyon 9.9 seems to get fantastic reviews and a bargaintastic price.
Hopefully delivered next week .
