Thanks.
I would have no concerns about buying either. Boardman is probably the better known brand in the UK, Cube is a bigger company worldwide, both have a reputation for offering good quality bikes at a good price.
I would buy based on (in no particular order) the spec, appearance and quality of support from the dealer you are buying from.
And of course, the fit.
