    I got the decathlon rockrider 8.1. I'm no pro, but it's doing me well on the trails through swinley.

    Little things like the remote lockout are very useful.

    Do you have the cyclescheme at work? That's what I got mine through so works out in the region of £350 spread over the year.

    Looks nice, looking for a first time MTB myself. Budget of £500. Apologies if I've missed it, but how did you pay for the Cube LTD?

    Forgot to say sorry. Bike cost me £300 and another £95 or so for bars, stem, saddle, pedals, chain & grips.

    :shock: can I ask where from mate?

    The Rockriders spec is unbeatable for £500 but my initial thoughts for the frame are saying "cheap" :?
    Love the look of the Cube frame, have you got the full spec?

    Good, no one will want to nick it.
