    Do you really need three threads on buying a bike?

    No, it doesn't stack up against the others previously recommended but is better than some you've linked to.

    Decent bits, but let down by the fork. Air forks are more easily adjustable. At sale price it's not bad. At RRP not good.

    Ok thanks. And yes I thought I did need 3 posts as I thought I would get more interest if I put specific branded bikes up and see if anyone had said specific bike.
  • As said the fork let's it down..
    Cube do good frames but at that price (even with the discount) the fork is a bit of a deal braker.
  • Ok thanks again, so I don't put a new thread up.....

    What is classed as a good budget fork then ?what I should be looking for around this price range?

    Many thanks

    You really didn’t, it just makes it harder to track the info, in fact it turns people off.
