Been looking at the cube reaction range and also the scott scales i think i would prefer a carbon frame and i fancy a 29er i have between £1500 and £2500 to spend what would you recommend?

Oh i only want a cube or a scott but i cant decide on the model to go for

I'm loving my El Mariachi at the moment, before that I had (well still do, it's in the shed waiting to be sold) a Swift. Both Great bikes, Salsa feels* a bit heavier than the singular, bit more solid and stiff (especially the forks which seem brutal!).

Really want a Canyon with gears for the summer though, for £2k you could get the £1500 alu version and a some seriously pimp wheels, or just put the change towards a holliday, even as standard the £1500 version knocks the socks off the spec of most stuff a grand more.

*feels, not is, bit stiffer, feels like you could ride into stuff rather than over it.

Hi I have a 2013 Cube Reaction GTC SL 29 which I am thinking of selling. I have had it from Xmas and done about 500 miles on it. It really is an awesome bike but I have mostly been using my Meta of late. If the OP is interested in it please send me an email. Chris@cranmoreconsulting.com
