Just been to test a few bikes i was interested in this aft the Marin Nail Trail and the Genesis Core 30, didn't like any of them just didn't feel right and then went to try the Specialized Rockhopper Expert, that felt a lot better i liked the feel of it, and seems like a decent bike.

I am now stuck between the Spec and the Cube Ltd Race and to throw a spanner in the works i also fancy the Focus Black Forest but without riding it i am unsure (dont know if i want to risk purchasing from the net even though you can have a 7 day test of it), decisions decisions, anyone out there have any comments about the bikes? and if i do go for the Focus is it as easy as just ordering it and if i don't like the feel of it send it back?

    The Cube has the best spec and would be my choice of the 3. Can you test one?

    Well in that case, definitely the Cube.
