I need 29er advice.
So I'm in the market for either a 07 or 08 29er that the LBS have left in stock. I've been taking tons of rides, getting every sales pitch and so on.
My question is...
I'm stuck between a couple of bike
08 Felt Nine Comp for 900
Felt Nine Comp Link
or spend the extra 300 for a 2007 Gary Fisher Paragon
Gary Paragon
Does anyone have experiences with either of these bikes?
OR is there a bike that I need to go find instead
Thanks

If it weren't for the Cobia fitting me. I was going to bite on a Jamis Dakota 29er. God components for the $$ but I needed the longer wheelbase of the GF, though it was ok on the Jamis, the Fisher fit me better.

I'd get a model above the cobia, if going the fisher route. Fisher uses custom offset forks, and every model above the cobia has a fox RL, a big step up fromt he tora. UPgrading the tora aftermarket would be hard.
