Hi there, I'm very new here and need some advise please.

 

I've got 2 options to choose from, a merida big 9 900 or rocky mountain vertex. 930. Upgrading from a merida matts tfs 800 26er to either of these 29ers!

 

So I cannot make up my mind as to which one but I've gotta make a decision by tuesday!

 

Here are the stats for either 29er:

 

Merida:

Get ready for the full 29er experience with Merida's Big 9 TFS 900! With an upgraded SLX/XT spec, this bike isn't happy unless it's tearing up the trail!
