I want a new bike as i've out grown my tcr( for sale adds) and need a new one
i have plenty of wheels so thats not a problem,
I need advice on what to get? I need an xl frame and i want racing geometry,
I have plenty of mtbs and cross bikes so no suggestions there please…

Cube bikes offer very good value for money. Look good too. 🙂

Slightly over budget but a very good deal.

I think my Planet X Carbon Pro SL is pretty good. Too good infact for this time of year. Mine is with Ultegra 6600? (The one before the under tape gear cable). I think you can get them with SRAM Red for £1499 at the moment. Not sure about XL sizes though. As also suggested, CUBE or Focus for VFM?

I've only done 50 miles on my new Cannondale CAAD9, but it feels like it will be a rocket ship, once I sort out my position anyway.

I love the coke-can chainstays, and it was noticeably lighter in the pick-it-up-and-down test than my old Cube.
