Are Cube bikes any good? Looking at one of these.

My mate has one and loves it, seem to get quite good kit for the money
I have the very thing in blue and white. Bought it before the price hike £899 plus £35 for pedals.
The best hardtail I've owned (and to my shame - I've had a few and I don't do shabby bikes). Light'ish but could be lighter with a few upgrades. They size up small so watch out for that. I'm 5'9" and I have an 18". A frame any smaller would be too small.
I was worried about keeping it clean (I hate dirty bikes) and the paintwork getting wrecked. The paint is as tough as old boots. Numerous big rock bangs, not a mark on it. Washes up like new every time.
I could bang on about it for hours but I've done that enough on here. I have 5 bikes, (2 mountain, 3 road). I plan road rides on the £2k Willier and then get to the garage and before I know it, I'm on the Cube and off into the Peak District. It's so comfy to ride. I've put a carbon seat post on it ('cos I'm a carbon addict), SLR saddle (personal preference), Deda Zero stem (I needed a longer stem anyway and I love Deda Zero stems) and it will be getting a carbon bars when I manage to get some (I'm a carbon addict).
See, I gush about it. It's ace!
Thanks for that barca.
I have one of [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=30504 ]these[/url] in black and it's great. Excellent kit as standard though I've changed a fair amount of stuff as I tend to run common components across all my bikes (brakes/wheels/saddles). The finishing is top class - I've ridden mine a lot in the last six months and the anodised frame has stood up well - their carbon frames are also engineered OTT from what I've seen. Mine came with "narrow" 635mm bars/105 mm stem but I prefer this to the current fashion of wide bars/short stem - I ran it with 90 and 95 mm stems which was OK but I prefer a stretched out position. All their range look to be well put together and well thought out.
I bought off [url= http://www.thecyclestudio.co.uk/ ]Cycle Studio[/url] who are very helpful.
Order it from here [url= http://www.cubecycles.co.uk/ ]Square Wheels[/url]
They are the original UK dealers for Cube, they are sending them all over Europe, and your bike will be properly built.
That LTD Race in ano black looks awshum! Shame it is out of stock in 16" 🙁
Slightly ott of HT but the Fritzz one looks perfect and gets great reviews, lot of cash though
I have the LTD Race in spanky blue and white. Swapped the Rebas off it and put on Revelations to make it a bit more 'do it all'. Really enjoyed razzing it round the world cup course at Ft Bill on Sunday. Not ridden an HT since I was a beginner and it's FUN! 🙂
Where did you buy yours Jojo? Did you get good service?
I bought mine from an exclusive little bike boutique in Edinburgh, run by a charming young man and his accommodating staff. It's called The Bike Chain and I can't recommend them highly enough. (other bike shops are available)
