Another What Do You Think Of This Bike Thread

seataltea

It'd be rude to turn down the Cycle2Work voucher offered by Halfords through my employer and since I may well sell the Boardman HT Pro through lack of use (I seem to have become a roadie, cyclepathie, towpathie, greenwayie and green lanie) a CX would fit the bill on many levels.

The bike I want isn't actually released to the market until Dec hence my post asking for a few views

RRP is £999 but even with the final purchase my outlay will only be £630, a very fair 37% reduction on a new bike with the payments not attracting any interest.

Even better my LBS have signed up with Halfords and are a Cube dealer so I'll be sized properly and the bike will be set up by them.

Other than the Boardman CX I don't think I can beat it for the money in the CX market, what do you think ?

Vey nice. I like that a lot.

I think it looks th mutt's, but if I was heading down that route I'd go for a steel frame with discs. Oh, and EA50s can be a right PITA if you get a puncture.

I love my cube they're solid well built and I wouldn't hesitate to get another.

Lost track of the miles on my agree and it still looks like new after 3 years.

Cube are usually pretty well specced for the money but they do have strange names

Both perfectly reasonable names - but Cube Agree ????

I really like it on many fronts. But, already having a CX bike with cantis, I'd want discs.

What's with the handlebar tape starting 3" from the end of the handlebars?

pretty smart for a deviant's bike

Thanks for the replies, voucher on the way, getting measured up tomorrow.

I feel a little dirty at the thought of a CX :twisted:

+1. I've got the same brakes as the Cube, too.

Looks the business, though. Very tempting to race.

I really like it! looks lovely, have to agree I'd prefer disc's but could live with the cantis no problem at the same time.

Or Siffee, or Gin and Trombones, or Hakkalugie (eww)

Mmm me likey!

I think I'd rather have discs but that's because I'm scared of canti's. But that's a lovely bike for £630.
