Which would you choose?

They don't seem to get mentioned on here much but I may get the opportunity of getting a felt for cheap (can be anyone of the current lineup)

Opinions gratefully received

Depends what bike you already have, what kind of riding you do (and want to do), and whether you want something similar as an upgrade or something completely different. You might want a XC hardtail, a FS trail bike, something with a bit more travel, even a CX or road bike to give you another option in the shed.

You could even buy one with a good spec to use as a donor bike and switch all the components across to your old frame?

Compulsion Prime looks alright but you'd want a pretty big discount.

I've got an 09 redemption and I've been impressed with it. Equilink seems to do what's its supposed to, the newer versions look even nicer.

I had a Felt F1 for a few years and it was obviously way more bike than I ever really needed. Its finish was as good, if not better, than any other top end bike manufacturer, but the HT was a bit short for my liking. If/when they revise the Z series I would be happy to buy another.

My LBS has said that last year the lead times on delivery could be a bit variable.

That's the issue really, I have a nice 29er for the local cross country and a nice long travel hard tail for the mucking about on.

Hmmm Ar1 is way out of my league

Maybe the cx is the way to go, do they sell the f55x in the uk?
