    Very useful reply. Not.

    OP, shop around and see if you can get the F85 and some gear within the 1000 limit with the BTW scheme. The F85 is a better specd bike and you may regret buying the 95 if you went with it. I cant remember where but i'm nearly sure i seen the F85 for 900 somewhere very recently.

    Obviously better off going for a much rarer brand like a Giant...

    That has to be one of the least helpful posts I've seen on boards.

    OP, where are you getting the bikes and the prices? Links to the spec's would be helpful. Haggle; I'd imagine you could probably get the f85 and a couple of bits for the grand.

    Also, Felt bikes are good, so don't take much heed of Eircom_Sucks comment.

    Well I was recommended felts by a avid cyclist at work so I'm surprised I went to wheelie there near liffey valley the 85 was 990 they went over the differences between the 95 and 85 but not sure if they were relevent to a biginner they will.always want u to get the dearer model.anyway
