Was pretty much settled on the Cannondale until i read about cracked frames. Is this a big issue? If not i think ill still sway towards the Cannondale. If so then the Cube is looking more promising.

    AFAIK it was old cannondales that used to crack regularly, the new ones seem to be much better.

    Personally I would go for the Cube - in fact I did! As have lots of others on here.
    But it is about fit too. Can you try them out?
    I find the Cube comfortable but very light on the front. My friend descibes it as 'skittish' and doesn't feel safe on it.

    I have a LTD Pro. Love it. It does feel light and nimble but I would say that's a strength rather than a downside. The Reba fork is brilliant.

    Buy from Bike-Discount.de if you do go for a Cube (any Cube). I saved almost £100 buying from there.
