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:
(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 ๐ )
*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.
Very nice, won't stay that white round Lw at the moment ๐
Lovely bike, proper no-faff build. Spot on.
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 :]
looks great, just building mine up at the moment
out of interest what headset cups are you using.
i'm just pressing in bottom hope cup D and it feels a too tight ??
Aaahh Rutland kindly pressed the headset for me before delivery, can't help you there!
That seat's along way forward.
Otherwise, nice.
Jaw dropped to floor.

Erm... that old nutshell again: what size it is it / you? Just curious, like..
sweet. i got two 'jumbo' chaiunstay protectors, velcro'd them together and they fit a treat.
Mine arrived on Monday. Love it! Great bike.
Watch out for the non driveside chainstay failing just above the rear disc caliper mount ๐ . 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 ๐
Just weighed it on my bathroom scales, so a very (dubious) 28 lbs... Room for improvement methinks...
