i have been changing my mind more than the weather in this country,as to what bike to buy next (road,cx,full sus).have just seen this and must admit to being more than a little taken with it 😀 2013 giant xtc composite 2 26" £1549.00 [img]

just wondering what others think of them (if you've ridden/own an xtc composite).
i do have a ht already (charge duster,my only bike).to be honest it's between this and either a road/cx bike now 😆
geta cx bike - will make riding a lot more verstile for you.
2 slightly different hardtails are good to have but they do pretty much the same things in subtly different ways. CX bike would open up new types of riding.
One of these for the same money...

I can't see why you'd buy an XTC and not get the 29er. The Composite is only 350gr lighter than the Alu version, so not sure it's really worth getting the Composite model.
I've owned the XTC29 for over a year now and love.
