Hi

I'm looking at one of these, but also considering a Giant TCR Adv 3/4 or possibly even building a Dolan Hercules.

I've started racing this season and the new bike will be used primarily for racing. I presume all three are up to the job (please correct me if I'm wrong). Just wanting others' opinions really.

Obviously, plenty of good things have been said about the Giant, the Cube faired pretty well in the recent BOTY test in C+ (however, if you listen to all their reviews, you'd be hard pushed to find any bad cycling product!). But, any more info on any of the above options would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    Got to be the Cube ,smart paint scheme , Ultegra with FSA compact chainset. Reasonable wheels with tyres that retail at £35 each! Looks to be a classy wee package.

    Hi, maybe you should consider also the KOGA CARBON TEAM EDITION ULTEGRA
    http://www.koga.com/uk/bike.asp?collect ... id=2213061

    I am currently riding an '95 cromoly KOGA-MIYATA. I bought it used last year & it's my first bike since my childhood. I am so happy with it that only a carbon framed set may take its place.

    So I'm seriously considering to buy this bike. As a more experienced rider than me, do you have any thoughts about KOGA bikes? My only good references are my trusty cromoly and KOGA's high quality website.

    Alternatives on similar price range:
    -CUBE AGREE GTC PRO
    -SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX ELITE
    -TREK MADONE 4.5T

    Thank you,

    Regarding the cube agree, I have recently bought the agree gtc race, this is my first full carbon bike and I love it, I normally ride a 52c-c as I'm 5'9 but bought a cube 56 to give a more agressive riding position and it works for me, big difference. I find it is very absorbent on rough roads, corners on rails and is straight as a die up hills, not that they last long. At their current price get in there and get the cube, great value (I run on full camp chorus, personal pref).

    +1 for the cube agree GTC Race.

    Got a few after mick and I can just say the same he did. it's very good for rough roads. it's like riding on a mercedes even though it' has two wheels.
    already 700km after two weeks and no problem.

    The full ultegra is very powerfull. U can go fast within a few sec. and on the flat going downhills, it just flies!

    I kept the ultremo on the front but changed the back on to a conti GP4. so far so good!
