Cube Attention or Cube Analog?

EyesintheSky

Hi guys,

I need a new ride for XC in the £600 region, I have narrowed it down to the Attention and the Analog as they give a lot of bang for buck. However once I buy either I will be upgrading the forks to either Recon Gold or Sektor RL meaning i'm not bothered what fork comes on the bike standard. The Attention is £100 more so my question is, is it worth paying the extra 100 for the better gearing? Also which bike has the better brakes? I heard that Hayes weren't the best...

Cube Analog


Cube Attention

Any advice appreciated!

Good luck trying to find a Cube Analog, most shops have sold out of them for the rest of the year & Cube aren't making any more until 2012

The Attention is worth the extra money.

Why would you want to put a RS Sektor for on that frame?

id keep your eyes open second hand to as the Cubes do seem to be selling out fast.

i have the Acid and the hayes stroker rydes arent bad but i have had to bleed them already in the first 2 months to sort out the feel of them.

but at that price range its still a good spec bike.

Leisurelakes always have a good health suply of cubes....worth a look

How tall are you? There are still some Analog's out there, but not many.

I think that the Attention isn't worth the money you pay in upgrades over the Analog. Especially if you're going to change the fork. The only upgrade you get is a XT mech over SLX but you run a cheaper set of hubs. And some people might argue, a poorer set of brakes

If the OP is a dwarf, bingo!

Thanks so far guys, nope i'm not a dwarf and my frame size would be 18-20. Forgot to mention, I currently have a set of mavic crossride disc wheels so the wheels will be replaced anyway. Which brakes are better, the Hayes or the Shims?

I guess the increase of price for the Att' is better in the long run for the improved gearing.

Which brings me to my next question, if I choose the Att', white and blue? Or white and black? :?

Leisure Lakes still have a 20" Analog and at least one Attention.

My money would go on the Blue and White, I think it's a better colour
