Just go try out a few in your budget at local shops

As already suggested go and visit your local bike retailer and ask for a demo ride or two then decide
Oh and welcome

test ride, and the one within budget and more importantly fits you best.

£100 difference is not enough to swing it in terms of value for money in my opinion. As said, it's really about how the bike feels so you really do need to try them out. £900 plus is a lot to spend without trying them first.

The £900 might not be lots to the OP but it is a fair amount to drop without trying out for size (unless he’s a multi millionaire then why restrict to £900!)

'Without trying it first' is the key point. I don't think c £1k is a lot to spend on something you might keep ten years, ride a few times a week, and will probably love. But unless you are seriously wadded - presumably you are - it is a lot to spend without trying it first. Apparently even JK Rowling has a ceiling of £500 for impulse purchases.

I would echo what others have said, go to the retailers, test ride & see how they fit, it’s pointless buying a bike that’s going to cause aches & pains because you won’t want to ride it; conversely I wouldn’t worry about the standard saddle too much as most people know which models suit their backside and they’re easily changed.

I am 15 years old. About 155cm tall..What bike does anyone recommend me getting?

The offerings from Cube are good value. Assuming you’ll still grow a bit I wouldn’t splash out too much until you know which discipline you like riding. Will your hardtail with slicks not suffice for now? Decathlon has some fun road bikes too.
