Bought it a few months ago just when it came out but didn't want to post it until I added a few bling upgrades and taking it on the trails! Sorry for the iPhone pix, will post a few better ones soon. All were taken at Cannock Chase.

The only bling I need to add are pimp my rid red grub screws and red tyre caps! Loving the bike so far. I know a lot of people like to keep the handlebars clean, but I like the control centre i've got going on on the left hand side.

It's my A Team van!

  • Nice! I have the white and blue 2011 version and they are such fun to ride, much fun to look at as well ;)
    Very funny Scotty, now beam me down my clothes.

    That's my bell! It's pretty unusual.

    I know bells ain't cool...but I love em!! :mrgreen:

    The white and blue Cube was what attracted me to the brand, they look amazing but I didn't want another white bike!

    I was suprised to see that Analog with an identical colour scheme.

    Pretty cheap of Cube to just change them round like that! Both look awesome though!

    I love my bar ends though, very comfy and tiny, but can't get the butt plugs to fit!

    I defo want bar ends on mine at some point.

    Yeah the Analog came first black and red and the 2012 Analog went all weird blue and green colours but the 2012 Attention was basically same as the 2011 Analog but with better forks I think.

    As ya say both awesome :D

    I must get some Cube bar ends soon as I tested my machine and put some miles through it 8)

    Make sure you get some Frittz lock on grips with red accents and integrated bar ends, £5 more but much neater!

    Cube swap paint jobs between bikes every year, so sometimes this does happen. Yes both are red & black but they are different designs

    Cube are one of very few manufacturers to offer 2 colour schemes on their bikes giving the customer more choice

    All of the Competition range are the same frame (Aim, Analog, Attention & Acid)

    Similar paint jobs and frames helps keep costs down and means better value for money bikes for their customers

    2012 Analog is available in blue/green & black/white. We've sold more blue ones than black ones!

    Attention is above Analog in the range, both have the same frame but different components in some areas,eg Analog is 27spd, Attention is 30 speed

    Ironically, I was going to go for the Blue and Green Analog and decided to pay the extra for the Attention due to the paint job.

    The Blue and Green matched my back pack! I can see why people may go for it as it's very unique! The extra £80 is worth it for the better fork and components though, but it's a slippery slope as another £80 gets you an Acid.

    Cube know how to upsell...

    Just in the process of adding some pimp my pedal grub screws! Pedals are looking awesome but also looks like ive gone from 4mm to 6mm screws so extra grippy as well!

    Also added red anodised grenade shaped wheel air caps for extra bling.

    Just need new red skewers and I'm done blinging the bike. Sad times! :(

    You can never be done blinging the bike mate, theres always sommat else.

    I was thinkin about runnin 2 x 9 and getting a Dark Cycles bash guard.

    Love the red grub screws, my pedals are red and silver screws and I need that so I can see where they are.

    Superstar components do nice lightweight red ti/carbon skewers.

    My latest mod is these :

    Light weight and dont effect ya riding but offer protection for the inevitable.
