pics dont do this justice but my local bike shop had this bike in store and it is stunning. Far better looking than the dull black version or any other cube bike. all the cube bikes look great but just saying.. the spec aint as good as what you can get on an older model like the 2012 ltd (29" wheels aside) but it is a gorgeous looking bike.

    No (yellow, green and pale blue, you're kidding right? Or are you colour blind?)..... next

    Someone else didn't like the look of it too as they seem to have thrown up all over it.

    It may look better in a shop among other bikes, but it doesn't do anything for me on a plain white background. Points for matching the stickers on the rims to the rest of the paint scheme though

    Looks like it has been coloured in with luminous highlighters. And the frame design isn't particularly interesting or technically cutting edge either.

    Epic fail.

    I think it's ace. If you could do me a road bike in the same colours I'd take it.

    I'm fairly sure you could get a shell suit to match that bike.

    actually I am serious. Can't believe no one likes it apart from one guy! The guy in my shop said it sells quicker than the black version and he thinks it looks stunning as well (and he wasnt trying to sell me it, he knows I just went in to test for the right size and I just tried that 29er as I have never rode one before).

    In 1991 my dad reluctantly bought me some Nike trainers with a similar colour combo. It was a grudge purchase, and for someone who rarely swears, he sure did tell me often, just how much of a knob I looked. And he was right. And I'm sure he'd say the same if he saw me sat on this Cube :D

    It looks like a Care Bear took a dump on it.

    It's fucking hideous. I bet if you asked your man in the LBS he'd tell you that the average purchaser age is 45 so had their prime "growing up" in the eighties and is recapturing their youth.
