Felt Q200 Mountain Bike - £219.99 Delivered @ JeJamesCycles


£219.99

243°

FOUND BY: Toybhoy 1 month, 1 day ago

Was looking for a 2nd MTB for the winter and came across this bike. Very decent spec for the money and will be good enough for some light to medium trails.

To get these size ranges available, the next cheapest would be at Evanscycles and they do it for £275. so this is a great saving.

Can anyone add a bigger pic for me?

Looks good for the money - maybe spend a bit more and get disc brakes. Fine for the occasional user.

And If you want to get it from Evans they will happily price match JeJamesCycles. JeJamesCycles are for this reason one of my fav shops but I have never purchased from them ;)

They're all pretty similarly spec;d at this price point. The difference is how you feel when you're riding it so testing them is recommended if possible,

Only thing I want to add is the Specialized is a singlespeed so it has no gears so if you live near hills, I wouldnt recommend that. Also these are MTBs so if you are using it for mostly roads and parks, I would recommend slick tyres to give you more grip as we move into the winter

Thanks for the reply, i am sure like many others have not clue up on bikes, I when to see the carrera yesterday, it looks nice but it weights around 30lb is that a lot?
Running gear wise which one got the better spec apart from the disc brake. Love the colour of the felt but unsure what the components are compare to carrera

Hey Tony, The components of the Felt and Carerra is quite similar quality-wise with the Felt maybe edging it.

The key difference for me is the prestige. Having a Felt is cool!

In terms of purely on the brand name. A Felt would like a Mercedes and a Carerra would be a Ford.

The centrum elite has the three speed internal hub gears, the black sport model is the single speed version. I don't know if the gear ratios on the elite differ from the sport but my sport is a bit too low geared to be honest.

I'm considering getting a Rockrider 5.3 - http://http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN...-5-3-34963817/

Which is the better bike? NB: I'm going to be using it almost exclusively on tarmac.

the only thing wrong (not that there is anything wrong about it) is that the b'twn has mechanical disc brakes. if it had hydraulic disc brakes, it would be perfect in my opinion. it's a great bike with good reviews.

I had the same choice a few weeks ago. I went for the HardRock in the end at £250.
Wasnt too keen on the 28/38/48 on the Felt, and the odd sizing of 17.5 , 19.5.
IT has been £220 for at least 6 weeks.
