    Hi, i've been traveling with the last 3 years and have been out of sync with cycling and was thinking of getting back into it. I was having a look at CRC and came across this bike and was wondering what the good people of boards think of it? Thanks for your help in advance.

    If you're going to be doing your riding off-road and you're 6'+ then it would be fine. I think you could do better.

    There's nothing "wrong" with it. The parts spec is a but unexciting and it wouldn't be my first choice in the "€1000 hardtail" bracket. This would be. In green.

    Yeah I was gonna go for that (in black), but people's experiences of delivery delays and poor customer service put me off.

    That looks pretty sweet but I was told that you can use the cycle to work scheme with CRC which is why I opted for the Cube.

    Yeah, saw those stories - still wouldn't put me off though. You can check stock levels on the site.

    You can use the CTW scheme with any shop, online or otherwise, unless your employer has some restriction in place.
