    I bought a trek 6000 in May for 900 with clock, bottle and holder,and saddle bag with tube etc...
    Like yourself i looked at trek,lapierre,giant and specialized.The trek is a nice bike,looks good and i have had lots of fun with it this summer. The reviews are good too but i find the tyres slippy in the muddy stuff. I found that with the bikes i had looked at, they were similar enough in spec at that money.

    If its the shop I think you're talking about then its kinda small... good brands but limited choice.

    I would take a day trip up to Cyclesuperstore in Tallaght..

    Like Toys R Us but for bikes... was there on Sat and noticed what a great range of Mountain bikes they have... Check em out online..

    My tuppence...:p

    A friend of mine only bought one of these a few weeks back, to be honest not a great bike for the money. If you are not buying a bike on the bike to work scheme you would get a pretty sweet second hand bike for that price that would far out preform anything you can get new for that money.
