New MTB... what to get?

Anyone have opinions on the Specialized Camber Pro 29er vs KTM phinx 1.29?

 

Cannot think of any other Trek dealers in the WC, and cyclelab are waiting on the new stock.

Hmmm, tough choices

 

Sorry Johan, that Trigon is a a bit too much over budget.

 

Had been think ing about the Trek Fuel EX, but can't seem to find one in CT (at the moment, although just started to look around). Anyone know of a LBS besides CycleLab that stock them?

 

Without starting a catfight - most of the sales guys seem to punt the 29ers... for those that have used both 26er and 29er is there that much of a difference and what is the biggest difference in handling, etc.

 

Has anyone tested the KTM Phinx - looks like a good buy - full 2012 XT (except wheels), fox suspension?

OLympic cycles also sell trek @their THule store next to them

That is the best value for money bike on the market.

 

The Trigon is all carbon though. You shouldn't compare the two in the same price class. The price-points are different. There's nothing wrong with alu, don't get me wrong and I think the Anthem has done more for full-susser biking than Karike Keusenkamp has done for Sun City Superbowl.

hi Johan

 

that trigon looks awsum. where do you get one? Do they sell just the frame?

Sorry Orbea, I overlooked your post.

 

If you e-mail me I'll put you in touch with the importer.

+1 for the spark 30. Scott really hit a homer with the spark range- top stuff!!
