    I didn't think you could get a sale bike on Cyclescheme, I thought it had to be a new bike, selling for rrp.

    A lot of people I know have gone for the Boardman range if thats any help. You get some great spec for the money, well worth considering.

    Vitus have launched their 2012 range and it looks better than any of these

    You can get sale bikes on cyclescheme - it entirely depends on the restailer. I got an ex demo form on one, hevaily discounted, on cycle scheme. They were very flexible. With thyem I also think that you can 'top up' over the 1k mark. Therefore I'd say a carbon on one whippet or 456 depedning on how much travel you need. Rockhopper is nice too.

    Spec Rockhopper Expert 2012 - just ordered mine, test rode a Trek 6300 and RH Expert - RH came out on top for feel, even thought spec of it is lower than the Trek. Have you test ridden the ones you mentioned? Always worth a go and will probably make your mind up. Good luck!
