Hi All,
Facing a quandary I would appreciate views on. After 8 years on full suspension Specialized I want to move back to a simpler bike (from maintenance perspective). The Cube ltd pro 29 with XT has caught my eye at £999. Other bikes that have caught my eye mean spending a bit more which I am relaxed with doing if they will be ‘better’ bikes are the Bird zero, Kona Honzo and whyte 901 or 905.
Riding wise, I regularly get cross country around Berkshire & Lancashire, South Downs, Swinley and bike parks in Wales with occasional trips to the lakes for cross country and bike parks. For ‘bigger’ days riding I am comfortable in hiring a heavier duty full suss if needed. In terms of me, 110kg ex rugby player who enjoys power than spinning the pedals to get around
Your views & advice welcome
Cheers
