Cube Litening Super HPC Race

carbon337

Well after scouring second hand bits and bobs on forums and moving bits across from my old Bianchi I have created this:

2011 Cube Litening Super HPC Race 58cm (56TT)
Ultegra 6700 Chainset
Ultegra 6700 Rear and Front mech
Ultegra 6600 Calipers
105 5700 Shifters (next to swap with DA or maybe 6700 - see what comes up)
Gigantex 50mm Clinchers Wheelsmith Wheelset
Selle Italia SL Saddle
Pro PLT Bars
Syntace Seatpost - came with frame
Giant Stem - this is being swapped out next at the end of this week to a White DEDA Zero 1 with ti bolts
Look Keo classics (toying with speedplay in my mind)
Continental GP4000s
6700 11-25 cassette
KMC X10 Chain
16.5lbs

Im sure its the longest model name bike around.

I will get some better shots up at the weekend when i get the white stem sorted.

Like it the way it is.
I wouldn't bother with the white stem, the all black wheels, saddle, stem, bars etc concentrate the eye to the frame which looks ace.
Then again I would say that as I have a white frame with all black components !
Nice work.

+1.

I love the contrast between the black components and the frame. Really makes the frame stand out imo.

Great build, love it!

P.S. How much were the wheels out of interest?

400 from classifieds. Need new bearings though in rear but they are just a few quid each.

I would go with the white stem.. but also get some stickers on the wheels to balance with the frame.

Looks great though!

I was thinking some Matt Cube signs on the wheels 2 per side opposite each other.

Valves at 12 o'clock and cube sign at 3 and 9 with GP4000s tyre logos at 6. Now I am becoming a tart!

The stem was to match the seatpost ideally - like collars and cuffs but different.

At a glance it looks like ISP with the white seatpost. I'd certainly leave it as it is..

Nice bike!

on a dark evening I bet that looks like a frame is just flying along. Love it!
