Thinking of a 29er on the cycle to work scheme, around £1500.
Considerations thus far : Gary fisher Paragon 29er and Giant XTC 1 29er.

Dont like the giant as not convinced it will fit as I need a XL (20/21" frame) and XTC only available in UK in Large 19"

Would prefer steel frame (no on one's please, no stock build with suspension fork and on one charge £100 for cycle to work scheme builds) but not sure there is such a thing ?

Anything else from stock for £1500 I should consider and why ?
Thanks
