Hi, I've been shopping around for a new full suss bike as I've a few back problems and I'm looking for a comfier ride.
My local bike shops stock, Giant, Marin, Specialized, Trek and Cube of which I can test ride any of the latter four manufacturers bikes for a small charge.
I've a maximum limit of £1400 and if I can would like to get something competent for less if possible. I know my options will be limited in the Marin range and I really like the look of the Cube Stereo 18, but was hoping some more experienced heads may be able to offer some further advice.
I mainly ride cross country, and stuff like the North Face Trail at Grizedale but nothing too heavy and I would like something not too heavy as I'm already 18 stone and don't like humping my bulk up hillsides let alone a tank of a bike!

Any advice would be massively appreciated

Thanks

Owen
