M44SE Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I had a Giant Anthem Zero 08, with XO grips and fulcrum Zeros, so you must know how i'm crying to find a replacement
NinjaManiak Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 OK help me too Merida 3500Rocky Mountain Element 70Cannondale scalpel 2Santa Cruz superlight what to choose? Performance - The order you listed themExclusivity/Looks/whatwhat - Reverse the order
ChunkyMonkey Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 ......................................SCALPEL !!!
Andrew Steer Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 If you want value for money you can't beat Merida, if you want a fancy name and like to throw your money about then look at the others.
intern Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Have only had chance to ride the Merida, that very 3000-D. Verrrry lekka bike, but eagerly await the opp to hook it on a Cannon lefty...
Ox_Wagon Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 One of the (current in CNA) Brit MTB Mag had a group test and they did not like the Scalpel. Check MTB review and Bike Radar.

Li Mu Bai Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Cannondale. different class. following that I would suggest you look at one of the Commencal bikes in the same price range (you even get to do a long test ride before you buy), and then, perhaps, the merida...
Kritzie Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Merida then merida and last choice definately MERIDA!!!
IdeJongh Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Tough choice, scalpal is cool, especially with the lefty, but gives some admin sometimes. Merida, lotsa bang for you buck, i have the 1000D now, and its awesome!
DawieO Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 On a Cannondale, the only drawback is that when you raise your arms in victory, out there in front all by yourself, it pulls a bit to the left.
M44SE Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 OK Gents, This is what we got, adding some more in the mix 1. Merida 3500 with some XO stuff 2. BH Trail racer with some XO and other high end 3. Rocky Element 70 with full XTR 4. Santa C SL with XO built kit plus high end all at great prices Seems like Merdia is ahead? Thoughts
