Hello - Just joined! People here seem helpful & friendly. I hope you can provide some advice to me. I am a newbie!
I'm buying a bike for travelling to work each day (25 kms return), for the odd forest or four wheel drive track, and to maintain/vary my fitness routine. I also want to have something that allows me to scoot over gutters if required. I am 5/8 in height and weigh 78 KG.
Price is not that important, although I've set a rough arbitury $1500.00 limit.
Originally, I decided on a FELT QX 80, however, stock is zero. I then looked at the Avanti Illusion (but the dealer was pretty ordinary) and the bike didn't really appeal to me. Another dealer (very helpful) showed me a Scott P1/P2 which I did like.
So what are the more knowledgable people's thoughts - P1 or P2? Scott brand OK?
Many thanks.................Iain

- Anyone know of any problems with this model (P1 & P2)?
- As a new rider, is this model suitable for my requirements (communiting & low key off road now and again)?
- Is this model a "quality machine"?
