Due to a problem with some paperwork, the last 18" cube LTD race has been sold. They also don't know when it will next be in stock..
So i think i'll jump in for the Team instead, same colour and frame size..

Any thoughts ? still a reasonable machine ? i think it's Primarily the forks that are not quite as good ?

Looking at that, it's the Rims and Crankset which are the differences.Salsa Spearfish 29er

Nice looking bike But someone was putting a cube against the Orange P7
and was told that the frames arnt that strong!0 -
Compared to the P7 perhaps, but isnt that one of the bench marks in strength...and suffers as a result in weight.
I'm sure it plenty strong enough for what it is designed to do.0 -
Eeek, thats unlucky mate - when I orderd mine (last wednesday) I was told day before that there was like 10 left in 18", I ordered one of those, I hope nothing messes up with the paperwork for me, it is ment to be here tomorrow/sat?!
Id hold out for the Race mate, what order time has your LBS given on one?0 -
