I've had this bike a couple of months now and so far have really enjoyed riding it. However, it is a little twitchy but that may be me or the setup, a few more rides and I'm hoping I'll be able to pinpoint the cause.

I believe it weighs about 10.3 kilos. All standard apart from the seat post.

I think I've got quite a nice pair: http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy17 ... 010436.jpg

    Thanks, it is quite responsive, but it's just a little twitchy at the front end, nothing too bad but it can catch you out every now and then. The Nobby Nic on the front has made a small improvement.

    Any suggestions on set up would be greatly appreciated.

    Personally I'd go for a shorter stem and some sort of riser bars, should give you more control. A Thomson one to go with your seatpost would be nice! :D

    Id agree with craig, I swapped the flat bars on my Cube for some shallow risers, 80mm wider. Feels rock solid up front now. Before it felt like it wanted to kill me ... all the time.

    (left the stem though, seems fine as is).

    Thanks for the suggestions lads.

    I may be able to borrow some riser bars and I have a shorter road stem that I could use for evaluation. I'll give them a try.
