Blur XC carbon vs Spark RC

Hi guys,
Looking at a new frame sometime in the new year. Have ridden a 2011 spark, never tried the Santa though.
There's not much in it regarding cost. The Scott is a tiny bit lighter but then the Santa is a lot cooler Smiling
Anyone ridden both?
Cheers
Stefan

Hmm, that orange tallboy looks very familiar. Any chance I might have been looking at the back of it for the better part of an awaba lap last Sunday?
I'm 182, 78kg. Might catch up with you for a lap at ourimbah or awaba in the new year if you're still up for it...
Cheers

I ride a Tallboy and will say it is the best bike I have ridden.

Stand out from the crowd, go Santacruz.

Good luck and Merry Xmas.

I think, I know Santa Cruz is reasonable different to the evil empire so have a peddle on both.

What about the trail model blur with a talus fork? XC bikes are great and all but you'd get a far more versatile bike for a minimal weight penalty.

I love my Santa Cruz, and will probably have one for the foreseeable future so I'm slightly biased.
