Looking slick

Looks sweet mate, some nice upgrades!

Chain needs a bit of love though

Sweet bike, love the colour of the frame.

Agree with llamafarmer, that chain needs some loving :shock:

Niiice, love Cubes.

Could you take some photo's of the stem and bar combo? I'm almost set on the wet black and carbon myself, does it looks as good as it should?

Also, a pair of Rebas would be real nice. May I suggest the 2009 Reba Teams as they are white although I have the SLs and they are awesome and a bit cheaper.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong with the chain, I clean and lube it every time it gets muddy! It looks like some if the plating is starting to come off, not good I don't suppose!

If I do go for the rebas it'll be SL's, one cause there cheaper and two cause there black, not sure the white will look right on the bike. And I'll try and get some more photos of the bar/stem tomorrow as I'm busy all night.

So it's been a while since I've posted as I've only just started using it again, spent all summer last year training for a big charity ride on my roadie and I've recently upgraded a couple of bits so thought I'd put up some new pics:

XT Shifters which are great, thought only had them on 24hours
M520 SPD's was a little nervous at first off road locally, will be getting there first proper test at Cannock
Superstar grips, disc rotors and seatpost clamp all good stuff, white grips are a pain to keep clean but look good
Charger spoon saddle, really comfy!
And I replaced the knackered chain

Never got the Reba's though, one day. Would they be much of an upgrade over the Tora's, I'd be looking at the Teams on sale at Merlin







Also, I think my tyres might be fubared, they've look really worn but only on the walls and not from riding:

So after an awful lot of deliberation I've finally took the plunge and ordered a set of Reba Teams from Merlin. Just need a PM to PM adapter and I'm good to go. First outing will be at Cannock this Saturday, can't wait.
