I made this point on my thread regarding my Allez, but i feel its something you should know.

Cube bikes are very very good for the money and offer great componentry.

But please remember that you get this great price because all Cube bikes are built on OLDER frames, i.e. 2-3 years old.

this also goes for the their mountain bikes. I found this out from a reliable Cube dealer.

    odd the reviews of CUBE bikes on the bikes & gear section above seem to point to the frame being one of the better bits of the bike http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/road/product/aerial-comp-08-22989 for their bottom of the range one.
    I think I am still quite keen on the idea of the ones in the allez post

    I bagged myself a bargain around a month ago, got a Cube Attempt 2007 down from £899 to £589 with full 105 running gear, has been great so far. http://www.fotothing.com/fredstwin/

    What does he mean by 'older frames'? Are they built 3 years ago and only stickered up and sold 3 years later, or do you mean 3 year old technology? You'll find that many bikes, even modern expensive ones, are using frames built from the same materials and using the same method of manufacture as those of 5/10 years ago, particularly when talking about bikes in the sub-£1000 category. That doesn't mean they are bad or in any way inferior.

    No one has answered System's question. I'm also intrigued to hear more about this claim that Cube frames are somehow "older". In what way?

    What, they find old frames and build 'em up?

    If you mean the frame tech is 3 years old, not a lot happens in 3 years with alu frame design.
