    i agree that would be best but we are in dublin. there aren't any lbs's that carry them and the range of bikes the lbs's do carry is pretty small. basically limited to giant, scott, specialized or lapierre and they don't really compare on price to the cube.

    Some great kit, only let down by a rather poor fork. Not much travel either. Got 4/5 in the MBUK review.

    true, the fork is not the best and its only 80mm travel but for €600(£446) the rest of the kit is pretty good. have to compensate somewhere for that price so its either going to be the fork or the rest of the kit. i think even if it had the xcm fork with 100mm travel its still probably going to be one of the first things to upgrade...
