Cube ltd comp

I'm just wondering does anybody have any info on what these bikes are like?? its this type here http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/cube-ltd-comp-mountain-bike-white-metal-red-id59726.html, my Canyon yellowstone was taken last weekend and i'm looking at one of these second hand as a replacement. I'd love to get a grand canyon AL 6.0 but i just dont have 1000 euro right now to get it, i'd even get another yellowstone but they won't ship until week 2 in Jan. I have looked at a Sunn prim 2011 like this from CRC but thats really as far as i could go money wise http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=58985. Any advice on bikes around that price would be great.

I got one a few months ago and find them to be great. Have been using it mainly around ticknock and Ballinastoe and it handles everything up there v well.

Dont have any info on the other bikes you mention other than Canyons seem to be the main manufacturer everyone around here is raving about these days.

Cheers, how do you find the front fork on it??, i had a recon silver on the canyon that was robbed, and i think its a Tora on this Cube.

Yea, Tora comes as standard on it.

I find it good. The poplock works well when climbing and it copes with everything going down rough bits.

I'm 100kg though so I'm sure the susp works differently based on weight! Ha

I'm not far off you buddy so i'll take your word . I'd be going to ticknock etc so its good to know it works well up there..

Looks a good sppec on the bike, has a recon gold front shock, its also very light at 11kgs, do let me know as i'd be interested, how did you get the discount by the way??, the only thing i wasn't mad about was the look of the tyres on it.

They had a 10% code last week, TENUK I think. Try that, or email them and ask if they would honour the €729 price from last week.

Tyres can be changed if they don't work out. I doubt any entry-level mtbs come with great tyres

Cheers for that, i'll try it or i'll give them a bell.
