I have a Cube LTD and can't find the bare weight of the frame listed anywhere - short of stripping the thing completely and weighing it myself (it's in daily use and I'm a lazy ****er) - has anyone got any ideas?
Email em and ask.
Although - why do you want to know...?
Tried the email thing - I got an 'out of office response' about three weeks ago, and nowt since. Tried a dealer too, but it's not stated in their Cube book.
Only really wanted to know as have been wondering about a single speed - and whether to just convert the cube or look for a second hand frame & build one up. I've been on a few rides out with a mate on his SS, I just stuck with the middle ring and 14 teeth out back by way of solidarity.
I'm currently running XT transmission / shifters and XTR cables with continuous outers, so converting to single speed would save almost a kilo. But it's plenty hilly here, and I can only currently get part way up some of the hills before I'm reaching for the granny ring.. (I should point out that I'm not wildly fit eh?)
I figured if the bike weight came down significantly I might take a punt at it. TBH, I could loose about six kilos by leaving my laptop / books / lunch etc on the kitchen table before leaving for work. Perhaps gears are the way forward after all!
EDIT - just found a comment elsewhere that suggests 1850g for the small, mines a large (fnarr fnarr..) so I guess add 100g or so. hey ho.
