Finished building it up this evening using bits off my old bike - for anyone with a Cube - mostly everything transfers across with very minimum hassle.

Et, voila - ici une Bike:

[img] [/img]

(Oh and I *realise* the chainstay protector is rubbish! But until I find a proper one that fits as the chainstay is HUGE, then it shall remain ๐Ÿ™‚ )

*Edit*: Spec is as follows: Full XT, Fox RP23 Kashima shock, Fox Talas 32 100/120/140mm forks, Sun Rigle XMB wheelset, Formula RX brakes (180/180), Nobby Nics, Hope mix n' match headset, Thompson seatpost with Charge Spoon saddle, crap chainstay protector.

DT78 - it's not going to touch Lordswood with the state it's in at the moment! Not at least until I become a little less precious about it :]

Thanks George! No-faff is a good description :]

Watch out for the non driveside chainstay failing just above the rear disc caliper mount ๐Ÿ˜ˆ . These bikes look particularly nice with white hose and gear outer.

The seat is a long way forward , only because i wanted to run a shorter stem (which is in the post).
Frame size is a large, I'm 6ft with 34 inch leg, currently with the seat forward and a 90mm stem, it fits a treat, when the 70mm stem arrives, the seat can go back 20mm ๐Ÿ™‚

Just weighed it on my bathroom scales, so a very (dubious) 28 lbs... Room for improvement methinks...
