Carrera Hellcat 29er anyone?

[MattDB]

These are half price (299) in Halfords ATM. I haven't found a helpful review, looks like a nice machine but I've made half price impulsive buys before and regretted - anyone got one of these?

Not got one but had the opportunity to have a go on one a few days back.
Nice enough bike for the price but there are better out there for just a little more that i would buy over this one.

Cheers - Waited 30 minutes in Halfords to try to get someone to raise the seat for me to sit on it but couldn't get hold of anyone

Out of interest which bike(s) would you consider if spending a little more?

I remembered that's why I didn't buy a bike last time. I literally went in to purchase it and couldn't get hold of anyone. To be fair to the poor guys in bike hut there were lots of customers and they were horribly understaffed.
