2010 Giant Boulder SE or 2009 Felt Q520?
I can buy either of these bikes new for nearly the same price (Felt with the disc brakes would be $25 more)
Both are Aluminum frame hardtails and they both fit my needs well for riding.
Which would you choose and why?

Felt, hands down. The Q520 is an entry level mountain bike. The Boulder is a box store bike that has only been kept out of Wal Mart & Target because it bares the Giant name.

I've got an 09 boulder se converted to single speed... Took all that gearing crap off- slapped on some new Mavic SUP 121's... A fresh pair of Maxxis Holy Rollers... better suspension.. etc. Its served me very well and taken everything I've thrown at it. Just gotta give it some TLC with better/quality parts. I don't agree with the Boulder se being "big box" material.
