I either love it or hate it and I can’t decide.
It’s a lot of bike for the money (~£3500 from mainland europe), it ticks all my boxes. I just…don’t know.
I just don’t get on with the big rocker/linkage thing it’s got going on.
I thought the same when I saw it. But it’s kind of grown on me in a form following function sense. I think it’s a bit too tall anyway (they don’t publish the standover figures)
I’ve always liked the Ellsworths so the frame design is ok but my god that paint job hurts my eyes. It’s the same with all Cube bikes – just not to my taste. But the world would be a dull place if we all liked the same thing!
…. On the assumption that you don’t really see your bike when riding it, the aesthetic qualities come much further down the scale than performance, VFM, etc..
Im confused how you all think its tall, when it will be as tall as the next bike with that fork. The seat is still below the bars even with a dropper post.
