I'm looking for a bit of advice as i have just got my Cycle Scheme voucher and i cant decide on which bike to buy.The 2 bikes that i have been looking at are the:

Genesis Core 10

Cube Attention

Sorry , but i'm not very good with computers and i dont know how to put a link to these bikes on my post :oops:

I have tried both of these bikes and i'm still finding it hard to split them so any feed-back you could give me would be of great help

    They seem to have quite similar specs,and both seem very good value.
    The Cube does seem to have a slightly better spec,with stronger brakes,and better mechs.

    If you have tried them both,and still can`t split them,it comes down to things,like back up from the shop,any freebies which you can getand even which one you just prefer the look of.

    Thanks very much for the advice i went out and bought the Cube today as it felt the more comfortable of the 2 bikes . The only concern i have is that the Cube only has 80mm of travel do you think this will be a big issue as i am not intending on doing anything extreme with it just yet ?

    Forgot to say the other reason i bought the Cube was that my daughter was with me and she claimed the Cube was "NICER" looking :D

    80mm is adequate for general XC.
