Bike to work scheme- struggling to decide between Orbea and Cube

Aka Ishur

Trying to decide between the

Orbea Avant H30 https://www.orbea.com/ie-en/bicycles/avant-h30/

And the

CUBE Attain Sl http://www.theedge-sports.com/product/112576/Cube-Attain-SL-2016/

Both come with complete or almost complete 105 groupset and at the same price. Which would boardsies go for? Is there another bike in the 1100-1200 euro bracket that I should be looking at? I am leaning towards the Orbea.

Help me pull the trigger

Id prefer the cube myself

Pick whichever one you like most. You'll be happy with either.

A mte has the orbea although I think it's last years model it's black. It's a very nice bike and quite a relaxed geometry a bit to relaxed for me but that's personal preference.

The cube bikes get great reviews but I'd imagine both a very similar.

As you've probably noticed the orbea has FSA crank and brake calipers as opposed to the cube full 105. The difference will be almost indiscernible.

The best way to decide is to throw your leg over and take each for a spin.

If you're eligible canyon and rose offer great value but no middle man schemes are accepted by either.

Mavic Aksium on the cube, Vision 25s on the Orbea. Very similar

Personally think I'd take the Cube - purely based on the full 105 and the Aksiums!
