Hi Everyone

So, I’m looking at replacing my aging bike which has had a hard life. I’m in the UK, so I’m getting one though work with Cyclescheme. I have already had a certificate issued to buy a Cube Analog, though I’m now debating if I have made the right decision… The specs are: Judy Silker TK coil forks, Shimano BR-MT200/U300 discs and SRAM SX Eagle 12 speed rear mech. I really love the Flashlime frame (aesthetically, not necessarily geometry), but the more I’ve read about the coil Judy silvers and the SX Eagle gears, the more I’m worried the hardware isn’t the best I could get for the money (it’s costing £629).

It’s not an expensive bike, I know, but I’m now wondering if I would be better of with the Cube Attention? I can get it for £699, so no a lot more, and it has The Judy Silver Air forks, with Poploc, and Deore FC-M5100 / SLX FD-M7025 rear/front mechs. To me it seems a step up for not much more money, though is going 2 x 11 a bit dated these days?

I mostly plan to ride the forest trails around Thetford (Norfolk, UK), and haven’t been riding in really quite a long time, so don’t need anything top of the line.

Are both options a mistake, and should I be looking at something else in the sub £700 bracket?

Thanks so much in advance for any help!
