    I had a look at some at the Cycle Show in October, very nice from what I could tell just by looking.

    Depends if you want a 'bum in the air racer' or something with more relaxed geometry, because these are clearly the former.

    Prices seemed reasonable at the bike show (though I was looking at the MTBs).

    What's the relationship between Cube and Focus ?

    They're both German and I seem to remember reading somewhere that they were made in the same factory...

    I bought a Cube Arial as per the C+ review last summer and I have been very dissapointed with it. I am going to try and sell it very shortly. It seemed to represent good value at the time, though now I wish I had bought something different, even if it meant spending a bit more money.

    I would never buy a Cube bike again. Unfortunate, but true.

    If you go on a training camp in Majorca - it seems that all the German speaking cyclists are on Cube bikes. They seem pretty good, offer a range of bikes and the German cyclist I met in the mountains spoke highly of his rental carbon Cube.

    Why not go to a dealer and ask to look at them?

    Might even be allowed to test ride.
