Think I've pretty much settled on a 901 with around £1200 in my budget.
Read all the rave reviews. Coming from a 26" Anthem X full susser.
Will be used for Degla and my annual trip to the Dyfi.
I'm a late 40's steady rider.
What are riders 'real world' riding impressions of the Whyte?
MBR gave it a solid 10 in the 650B hardtail test last month, just ahead of the Orange Clockwork 120S.
What month is that MBR review? Anyone scan a copy of it to my email in profile?
If you look at the product page [url= http://whyte.bike/gb/models/trail/trail-hardtail-27-5-650b/901-2/ ]here[/url], they've got scans of the reviews.
Try and organise a test ride if you can. They're really big bikes (24.3 inch top tube on the medium!!!), long wheelbase, very little standover, which may or may not suit you.
I was looking at the new Whyte 29er hardtail series and the lads at Bike Scene in Guisborough recommended that I would be better off on a medium even though I'm 6ft.
Thank you, but its the Clockwork 120S that i'd like to read up on (the Whyte is a contender, but alas i fear it will not be the chosen one).
