    It's old news. It's called the Two 15 and has been around for a while.

    It's a funny old bike, lots of links and pivots at the rear end. Shame we haven't seen the Cube rep at work in some time because I'd quite like a go on that

    A month old.

    And yes I knew about it a month ago as I work for a Cube Premier Dealer.

    But seeing it in the flesh is another thing

    As is asking Dan about how it rides, what he plans to change and when he thinks it'll be released

    No one is allowed to have a go on it, it stays with Dan permanently, it is not allowed out of his sight at all. ever.

    That's it, Dan. I forgot his name. He needs to come into my store, we have a broken Litening he needs to collect. I think he was talking about the Two 15 last time he popped in for more than 5 minutes

    I do hope he brings it in next time he's in the area. It's fun when the reps bring new shiny bits with them :P
