CUBE mountain bikes - any good?

[308mate]

Considering a GT Avalanche Expert but the silver tongued devil in the bike shop has turned me on to a CUBE Ltd comp or similar.

Anyone got one or have any experience of them?

Im on the GT case cause its 12 yrs since I rode in anger I remember they used to be good value!

The most recent (unless a new one has come out since) issue of MBR has a review of 12 circa £500 bikes in it.

The GT is included, but can't recall if the cube is or not. Specialized wins the test, but it really comes down to what you plan to use the bike for.

Sunday afternoon cruises along river tow paths or leaping 20 foot into the air over jumps?

XC Racing hopefully. But till then, Purbeck Hills and local forests, inluding some drop offs, jumps, climbs etc etc.

Ill look for that issue of MBR today and see what it says.

Its the June 07 issue, so should be "current" in the shops for another couple of weeks.
