    Why not sure? I'm considering a 2010 AMS 125 but also a Stereo... What kind of riding you do? Was it a spur of the moment purchase?

    I don't think you've done the right thing, the picture is not showing up :)

    Cube AMS is a good bike for the specific type of riding it is built for, and is lovely looking as well.

    Maybe sort the picture and i'll tell you if it was right, if not, you can send it to me and i'll dispose of it.

    Back end sliding is how I like my bikes, and my women. Sounds like a fun day!

    I had the same problem with my old cube before it got stolen as well. The Hayes Stroker Rydes that came on it were god awful. I suggest upgrading to Shimano SLX brakes, their a decent price and miles better than the rydes.

    Nice looking bike though.
