Im looking for my first full suspension bike to purchase through cycle scheme with a max of £1000 anyone know of any good shops or online retailers that are doing the scheme with decent bikes for sale? i live in kent.
Ive looked at alot so far, some sale bikes and new 2012 models
Ive got my eye on trek fuel, lapierre x control, giant bikes etc
Any help would be great, i want to get the most out of my voucher.
Thanx
If you've only a grand, better to go for a HT - sorry.

This, unfortunately.
A couple of years ago, you could get some really good FS bikes for £1000. Alas, times have moved on, i'm afraid. You'll get something much more usable for that price if you buy a HT, in my humble opinion.
My mate got a reduced 2011 Specialized Camber for £1000 from Evans. It has served him well so far. Definitely worth checking out reduced deals. Paul's Cycles is worth a try too and they do Cyclescheme.
If you don't mind buying from Halfords, the [url= http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_777745_langId_-1_categoryId_165499 ]Boardman Team FS[/url] is meant to be pretty impressive for the price.
You could also try getting a discounted 2010 or 2011 bike from somewhere like [url= http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m1b0s1p0 ]Paul's Cycles[/url], like [url= http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m1b0s1p3618 ]this[/url] 2011 Giant Anthem X5 at £899.
Or, as BR has suggested, just get a decent HT instead.
as above, id say at that price hardtail will be much better.
just my opinion, yours may differ.
