Cube litening c:68x
Sooooo. This was just "released" last week, and won't be available to the general public until October or so. Looking at the geo & available configurations, I'm pretty sure I want one.
Anyone have any experience with Cube bikes firsthand, and what were your thoughts? Also, how, exactly would one go about getting their hands on one in the States, since there's no US distributor. |

Any reason for wanting the Cube?
One of the guys who we ride with occasionally has one, and it hasn't really impressed me much up close. Probably best bet is to purchase overseas, take delivery then ship it back |

Looks like a hybrid between a Cervelo S5 and Cannondale system six

Seconded. I rode with a guy who had one and he regularly complained about it. I think he warrantied it a few times. QC appears to be an issue.

I also think it looks really good, but that's not the primary objective here. |

If they'd make a 52 with a 130/-12/360 integrated setup with 165mm cranks, I'd be on the next plane to where ever I could purchase it.

Edit: Looking at the photos further, there appears to be small projection at the back of the fork crown. Perhaps the front brake cable/hose passes through this projection (from behind the steerer) into the fork. If so, then it appears that I was a bit premature, and this bike can have a standard steerer, and can use traditional stems (although feeding 4 cables through a hole in the frame behind the top of the head tube without cable guides could be a bit messy).

They don't have any mechanical groups listed, only Di2 and AXS groups, so really only 1 cable to deal with and 2 cords (if using Di2) Not much easier, but easier nonetheless.

Yeah, not arguing with that, just pointing out that they don't sell it as a frameset (on their website), and none of the factory-offered builds are mechanical.

Apparently, they have a Canadian distributor, and are reasonably available in Canada...
The gf has never been to Toronto. Looks like a trip may be in order. |
