ok appart from one is painted and laquered and the other is annodised-

these are both Cube Reaction pro series frames, im unsure if the reaction pro series has lesser frames in its class, i am wondering which if any of these 2 frames is the better? if anyone knows technical stuff about cubes then your advice would be appreciated

    All the Reaction alloy frames are the same frame

    Same with the Ltd range, same with the Comp range,...you get the idea ;)

    Same frames different kit

    As above. The alloy Reaction frame is their top end alloy frame, then the LTD and finally the Comp. Generally speaking, the higher you go in the Cube range the lower the front end gets and longer the effective top tube becomes

    cheers guys, the red and white one is a 20" frame which im running just now, though i feel its a tad to big for me, even though i have a 34" inside leg, im only 5'9" :lol: so its a big frame, ive got it set up so it runs very well though, however the black frame i have is a 18" so im going to swap my stuff and see how i like the smaller frame, then prolly sell the one i dont want......maybe...if i can get away with building another without the missus catching me :lol:

    Anodized frames are lighter.

    i was thinking the same SS, the red and white has quite a paint job on it
