    Check out the Cubes in www.cyclesuperstore.ie

    Good value for money IMO for your price range, 1000 euro I assume?

    Hey at1withmyself,

    Yeah have 1000 to spend, will spend the lot on the bike to get the best value bike I can, any particular model cube you would recommend, I'm a total newbie to MBTing, don't really know what to look for as regards gear specs etc.

    I would possibly go with this if the plan is to do some trail riding
    http://www.eurocycles.ie/MTB_Hardtail/Focus_Killer_Bee/3461_p.aspx
    And as far as them droping prices to clear stock, i think you will only find the bangers drop in price by any decent amount the better spec bikes will drop by a small amout if anything. But i do know eurocycles give extras with thier cycle to work customers i think its a percentage of whats spent. You would be best to talk to them yourself and go and try different bikes in different shops as everyone will have an opinion on which bike to get.

    A friend of mine was in the same boat as you last week and after a lot of searching and checking spec's etc we decided on the following:

    Note - being a member of the stores loyalty club knocked off 10% which left him with enough money for accesories such as clipless pedals and shoes etc...
