Hi
Getting back into riding, need to get fit!
Looking to change my current bike (raleigh max ogre 15), wondering about either a Cube acid or Marin b17. See below for details
What do you think?
Main use for the bike would be weekend rides over fields and stuff
Cheers in advance

ive just got a cube acid 2011 and apart from the colour and forks there pritty much the same and i love my cube it rides really well stem is longer than my friends specialized rockhopper (we swapped bikes for a little while the other day) we both noted this and it gives you more of a over the wheel feel on descents, gears ive found are brilliant the slx shifters mean you can pull and push over to go down the gears better than the srams as you can only push. it goes uphills very well im not the fittest but on my commute back from work i have found i am not struggling anywhere near as badly as my last bikes.
not tryed the other bike but looking at specs id go acid and after riding mine i love it and wouldnt change it0 -
Thanks
Where did you get your cude acid 2011 from?
Cheers0 -
