So I've been on the look out for a cube 53cm and on the off chance a bike shop online had one
Showed my interest and then left email last night I'll take it, and will leave deposit. Only to find out it was sold this morning when I called at noon
So back on the look for a cube 53cm with 105/ultegra setup
The one I saw would have been perfect as from a shop which included fitting and swapping of parts length if required for like for like.
On a lower budget too and fitted the bill. Oh well, lets see what's next round the corner

Thanks
Have done before with no response
New to this road bike scene just didn't expect a bike to go 24 hrs after being put online
It was £500 for a mint streamer with 105/ultegra
Didn't really want to spend much more and hooked on the cube for feel design look and fit as having been in several bikes the cube 53cm just felt right

That is a bargain! Good luck trying to match that, the groupset alone is probably worth £500! The best I can advise is this:

A small may be too small for you though. Not sure how a 53 cm Cube frame compares, but I had a old Giant SCR2.0 in a small (49cm) frame and it was very similar to my current 52cm Allez, so might be worth considering.0 -
It was one of their part ex bikes so a second hand one
Doh, should have pulled the card out 12 hours earlierWanted: Cube Streamer/Agree GTC Compact / Pro/ Race : 53cm0
