Cube Road Bike Sizes

Does anyone have any info with regards to Cube Sizes?
I have had a Boardman in Medium and a Ribble in Large ( 6ft 1 )
According to the Cube info i would fit either a 56 or 58 frame, seen some forums where mebers the same size said the 56cm was too small?

No easy answer...I'm 6ft and ride a 56 in Trek 'n dale's........I tried a 56 Cube and it was fine,,,,depending on length of torso to legs, you really may suit either a 56 or 58. i would suggest the only way would be to try one.

Strangely I thought the Boardman Medium was a 53cm,Large was a 55cm and their Extra Large was a 57.5.

If you ride a medium Boardman,,,,I am more than confused, maybe you like a smaller bike, so go for a 56....I would definitely try both 56 & 58 Cubes before parting with cash!

Check out the Cube geometry chart and match to your current frame on top tube length. Cubes have short top tubes for their nominal sizes - I happen to know that a '53cm' Agree (nothing is 53cm long about it BTW) has a teeny weeny 516mm top tube. Friend of mine nearly bought one recently and he'd have been way too big for it .

Its all down to toptube, and we're all different proportions, but as a general guide it does seem that most people end up one size bigger on Cube than expected. Just get a fit. Or look at geometry tables and work it out. My Cube winter bike is a 58 Peloton and Im 6ft dead.

I recently bought a Cube Agree GTC Race 56cm which is the right fit for me and I'm a mere 5ft 8in. If you are 6ft 1in I am certain that a 56cm Cube would be far too small for you.

Thanks for the info.
Much appreciated.

I'm 6ft (32" inside leg) - I have a 58 Agree GTC Race with a 130 stem at the front.

Click on the bike model and you'll find the geometry measurements. Measure your current bikes from the top of the seat tube to head tube (centre to centre) and find the nearest equivalent on the Cube spec.

I reckon you'll need a 58 - maybe 60.
