Boardman Or Cube??

[Paul_T]

Hi all, just a quick vote needed please from you well in the "know" cycle peeps

Taking the plunge and getting a 29er, apparantly an extra 3 inches makes a difference???

After many auditions and boot camp, my two finalists are:

http://www.cube.eu/uk/bikes/mtb-hardtail/ltd/ltd-29-green-blue/
http://www.boardmanbikes.com/mtb/29er_pro.html

All votes counted, and won't cost the bill payer a penny. A vote of either "B" or "C" will do, and of course, I seriously appreciate any comments/help/advice etc.
Thanks, Paul

They are both good bikes and the one that 'catches your eye' is the best one for you. However after saying that I would get the Boardman if it was my choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Keith, was swaying towards the Boardman.

I thought 27.5 was the new 29?

As above, both lovely bikes but the cube catches my eye more. I think the best advice is to test ride them both. Personal choice at the end of it all.

The Cube is a pretty bike
I ride a Specialized 29 er (ladies specific) and absolutely love it! It's a joy to ride and handles like a dream - best decision I made

I would say the Cube but blue and green should never be seen so buy the Boardman

Boardman, the green may go out of fashion

I thought 27.5 was the new 29?

& 43 is the new 21

Normally I would go Cube but having seen it, NO, the Boardman on the other hand looks trick.

Cube, but get the black version

The Cube has a triple front ring, the Boardman a double.

More gears is not automatically better, but it may give you a wider range.
