PappaBear Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 If you can afford a Scalpel, why not rather go for the more exclusive brands...... like Elsworth, Yeti or focus??? But between the Scalpel and Merida.......... MERIDA!!!!

Iwan Kemp Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Merida or Anthem X. For the money nothing comes close.
offroadie Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 Hi All , Thanx for all your input and comments . Done some reading today and my conclusion is as follows .it is a very fine line between the two .The Scalpel is the better frame and the Merida has got the better components.so If the Scalpel had the Merida Component it would have been the winner hands down.
Terminator Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I think you are down to personal preference. You are looking at 2 good bikes. Both bikes are equal, but one is more equal than the other.
