Guys,

having finally decieded on which bike I was getting (Cube Ltd Race) i have now found out I have options open to me on sale bikes via Pauls Cycles.

Two I have seen are:

Giant Anthem x5 (2011)
Mongoose Teocali Elite (2009)

Im guessing im better off with one of these over the Cube?

I really liked the goose, but undersand the forks are a bit iffy? Quite like the idea of extra travel if I wanted to tackle harder stuff.

As always, input is really appreciated guys!
