Sorry didnt really read your original post.

firstly- the cube reaction gtc is a superb bike- ive seen and tried one of my friends' ones.

secondly- they have already sold out of them in most places, and i believe cube have run out of them…

they still have some in stock at crc, get one while you can, they wont last long, and once they're gone they've gone.

I would go for the cube over the Lapierre any day, the cube is a lovely carbon frame, and will be faster (the only draw back of the gtc race is the SRAM)

oh, the giant comes in at 23lbs… but i can shave another lb off by changing the seat, seatpost and handlebars =) It is carbon btw… Im thinking of upgrading it at the end of the year, getting the new xtc advanced frame, it looks lovely!

go on then…

anthem X for long rides, may want to look at the Giant XTC 1 29er, rides very well… 😀

+1 robhughes

550mm…. but its a race bike so thats fine

the print screen button?

Pompey built up yet epicyclo? actually, i didnt even see if you got your silver spokes… =)

the bushings last for a while if they are titanium/ceramic…. heh

the trance X can just be hammered down hill so nicely, and it still climbs! I wont be trying any other suspension design in a hurry, giants are just built too well and are perfect!

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: hi
Stranger: hi
You: do you singletrack?
Stranger: singletrack?
Stranger: means?
You: i wanted advice
You: could you recommend tyres for a dry trail through roughly 30/70 percent trail/tarmac and the trail is woodland?
Stranger: no no no i am sorry~ i am not good at it
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

hahah

giant anthem X??? won bike of the year 2009 and gets rated very highly?

and next year's spesh's will be reviewed saying that the annoying brain shock of 2010 has been remedied… Dont pay attention to reviews of things, its trial and error.

Shimano XT brakes
Review number 1
Review number two

and every bikes shops worst enemy!
Hayes – ewww. they said these were reliable?!?

but to answer the question, it isnt worth £95 if you dont use it, and probably isnt even if you do… i like it though =)

hate to say it, but an orange 5 isnt the lightest or fastest of frames…

@cyclingtheamericas is really good.

Ton- starting to get a bit late for base miles (although never stop them) but you should start doing a few harder sprint sessions for cross country to "convert" your muscles and make them faster…

Most LBS should have a free service with the bike, and be able to move a little on the price of a bike, but if you intend to buy a bike online, don't waste your lbs's time intentionally.

Jedi seems to have no unhappy customers! 😀

exactly, they are a business, not a demo center. its just not exactly great wasting a shop's time and resources before going and buying the bike elsewhere. They don't give people shots on bikes for the banter y'know. (they do it because they are trying to sell the bike)

2.4 rocket ron's would be perfect for alps.

How much of a **** are you if your going to waste your LBS's time trying a bike there, and then buying it somewhere else? be a little more considerate, and maybe buy things from your lbs instead, as im sure you ask them questions and things all the time.

my race bike! =)

Edit: 19" frame, thats the normal height my saddle is at… freakishly long legs for a 5'11 person!

njee that HT frame of yours looks very like a giant 2008 carbon xtc job. I

When i built up my race bike last year, and put a cheap set of aluminium bars on it, this happened to me as well. Painful stuff… I kept riding with the bars and the pain faded, but I think it was just the change of bars and my weight being shifter forward so that I was pushing back with my hands causing the cramps.
