Why you looking just on these bikes ?
For 1k you can get better bike ,imo.
Check www.cyclesuperstore.ie for example have a bikes with better specs for that money.
www.canyon.com are good bikes too, but waiting list is up to june/july   :(

I would suggest to go around shops and see what they can offer.
