If you had the choice of these which would you pick.

RR 8.1 http://www.decathlon.co.uk/81-2011-id_8168695.html#

Radon http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k1830/a58183/zr-team-5-0.html?mfid=52

If I could stretch I'd go for the Team 6.0 with a Reba fork. Sadly, cash is tight and it's mainly going to be a bike for fitness and most of it's use will be easy going.

How do the specs compare? Both good for the money?

I'm not a fan of the colour scheme on the RR. Although if all the components are superior, I'd go for it.

I need to make my mind up by the 10th of this month.

    The Radon gets the better groupset (though only slightly - and and an inferior chainset), while the Rockrider has the better fork. Still the RR for me.

    Someone on another thread suggested contacting bike-discount.de before buying. Just sent them an email asking if they can knock something off a Team 6.0. If they can offer me a decent discount I'd be tempted. If not I'll probably end up with the RR.
