I can not decide. I want full sus, I want remote dropper seatpost and I need value. I'd appreciate if people could comment on the following 4 bikes and suggest which is best value for money vs. components. I realise I posted a similar topic recently although I've got different bikes in the running now, the cube I was interested in before was too big and I can't source the right size for me.

http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k1867/a58305/slide-am-5-0.html - Would buy a dropper post. Good all-round spec, great price.

http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/a58313/slide-am-7-0.html - Has everything I want, not sure on the fork though.

http://www.canyon.com/_en/mountainbikes/bike.html?b=2563 - Good spec, no dropper seat post, again not sure on the forks.

http://www.canyon.com/_en/mountainbikes/bike.html?b=2564 - Great spec, price leaves me no room to buy dropper seat post.

    I actually put a post up about these 2 brands not that long ago. I think i'm going to go for the radon slide am 7 as the spec for the money is insane, especially when i asked if they could do it at the deal of the day price of a couple of weeks ago, bargain at €1799, about £1450!!!

    Wow, never seen those Radons before. They look incredible value for money!

    Great components for the money but how good is the frame?

    The radon slide am is the deal of the day again.

    I ordered the Radon Slide AM 7.0 in the end. I ordered it just before it was the daily deal and I wasn't happy as I'd previously asked if they could do anything about the price. However, e-mailed the shop and they offered a refund of 200 euros to bring it down to the daily deal price. Excellent!

    I'll report back in the new bike part of the forum regarding the frame once it's arrived for anyone else interested in the Radons.
