Hi
Looking at 2 road bikes on eBay both 62cm

Am I right in saying that cubes measuring is different to others because specialized XXL is 61cm?

The guy who is selling the one is 6ft 5 and says it's slightly to small for him

can you get all the measurements? check the reach etc. A quick check is to do the measurements against something that fits you.

I have a Cube road bike and would normally buy around a 54 size.However with the Cube I had to buy a 58 to get comparable dimensions with my other road bike.I'm just under 6ft and a friend of the same height bought a 58 Cube.Both of us have changed the stem to a shorter one.Mines down to a 70mm but is far more comfortable than the original 110mm.

I was looking at Cube Peleton recently and the top tube is short.
Bloke in shop said the 60cm was more like a 58cm
It did fit me and I'm 6'1.5".
They are strangely sized

Don't buy second hand as you will have no warranty when it cracks

im 5'10" and normally ride a 54, but with the cube i bougt a 56, fits me fine.
shop advised me to go up 1 size from normal, they were spot on.
