I have just passed 1,000 miles on mine & it still makes me smile .Or second hand go for a giant defy advanced 2 or 3
If you have 10 minutes to join british cycling at a cost of £20.00 you qualify instantly for another 10% discount so you could get this bike for around £820.00.
I was chatting to the young lad at the Wimbledon Halfords branch & he was saying the new ' Halfords-13 bikes' are really special but only certain stores have them.
Plenty discounted Cannondale, Giant Defy Composite, Merckx, Cube etc:

I'd go for a Supersix or GTC Pro as I like a less upright position

5 11, relatively long legs, so when buying mountain bikes tend to err on the smaller frame size.Edited by Roman on Monday 6th October 10:31
It would be good to try some for size - Evans Cycles price match FYI..

I recommend buying a "road bike."
I've bought several mountain bikes in the last few years with no need for such a question, as that is my field.
not really fussed by your humour but perhaps save it for the ladies eh?

in fairness i'm asking for ideas, there are some good deals around and this thread has highlighted them for me. Cube being one.

Similar back ground to me then, I'd suggest going and trying as many as you can as getting the right size is key. A decent shop will spend time with you making sure whatever you buy fits properly, something you wont get buying online.I've bought several mountain bikes in the last few years with no need for such a question, as that is my field.

Leisure Lakes looked after me and like I said earlier they have some good offers on 2014 bikes at the moment.

An entirely non descriptive thread title, followed by a monetary value isn't exactly helpful.
If someone came to you as someone who knows a bit about the MTB market and said "I want an MTB for a grand" your first response would be "what type of riding do you want it for?"
Same with road bikes.
Believe me, I went from MTB to road and it's taken me 3 years to understand what the hell is going on re group sets, pedals etc. so I do understand why you'd want some guidance!
