to be honest, at £1000 the only fs bike you should be considering is the boardman team fs. hard to beat for the money.0

A shame you're not interested in hardtails for that budget, a grand could get you some decent bikes.
I'd consider this if I had £850 to spare right now.

Is this your first "propper" bike?
If so I'd be more inclined to go for a hard tail for about a grand... You'd get a wicked spec...Always remember.... Wherever you go, there you are.
