    Well guys!
    Christmas is coming up and my dad said I could use his bike2work scheme effectivley. I choose the bike, but he'll bring it to work every now and then "To get fit".

    *cough* mid-life crisis much? *cough*:D

    So if you had €1000 to get SPD shoes, pedals, multi-tool (optional), shorts and bike, what would you get?

    It would be used in Ballyhoura, and the odd commute to work by the old man :rolleyes:

    I was thinking:
    Cube Attention or Acid 2011 (The Attention is €892 on crc, but I think the guys in Ballyhoura are selling the acid for €880, not sure though)
    Shimano M087 MTB SPD Shoes
    Shimano M540 Clipless SPD Pedals
    Endura Single Track Shorts
    SKS CT-Works Multitool

    Chain Reaction Cycles total: €980.90

    (I'm giving €350 towards the bike from the savings i've made, I'm not that spoilt getting €500 for christmas :P)

    Well I don't know a lot about mtbs (just getting into that side of things) but I've never heard anyone say anything bad about cube so you probably won't be disappointed regardless of which you choose.

    I think the attention is prettier though.

    I couldn't tell the difference :P Acid has better specs as fas as I know.
