Hi All,

First post on these forums.

I have been into a few Cube stockists over the last few weeks and have my heart set on a Cube Reaction RX 2010.

I am going to click 'buy' within the next couple of hours. Just waiting for the Mrs to get back with my credit card.

The shops that I have been into only had 16" and 18" frames. I tried them both out around the shop grounds and both felt to small. I am 6ft exactly and have previously had Trek 19.5 inch frames.

My question to anyone that might know, is based on my height of 6ft, do you think that a 20" frame would be sufficient? (I haven't got the opportunity locally to try out this size) The next size up is a 22" frame which seems a bit excessive. Does anyone own a Cube or have any experience on frame size?

Any info would be appreciated. Cheers.

  • You need a 20in fella. I am 5ft 10 with a 30inch inside leg and had an 18inch which was fine for me, but the 20inch with the 110mm stem was too long. You really need to try it for size to be sure if you can, although I have bought several bikes off the internet based on their dimensions and they have all worked out right, but that does not work for everybody.
  • Thanks for the reply mate.

    I''ve just ordered it. I was convinced when I was in the shop that I needed the 20" (and so was the sales chappy) as the 18" wasn't quite there.

    Good to hear that from an owner!

    Cheers.
