First road bike and have decided to go for a Cube GTC Triple, but have now seen the Pro version which is just over £100 more. My question is whether the Pro is worth the extra £?

Also I'm 6ft so would the 58cm be right? Have heard Cube size up a bit smaller than most.

Oh and any recommendations on good pedals that won't break the bank too would be great!

Many thanks!

    The biggest difference is that the Pro has a compact chain set and the Non pro as listed has a triple, apart from the slight difference in spec and weight, the chain set should be your main concern.
    Which would you prefer !
    Just Kidding !

    My personal preference would be the Pro - for the extra £100 you get a 105 / Ultegra mix on the gearset (instead of Tiagra). The Pro (I think) has a 50/34 compact chainset and an 11/28 cassette - giving nearly as wide a range of gears as a triple. You also get a reasonable set of wheels (Macvic Aksium's) on the Pro (though some on this forum may disagree)!

    I have the 2013 Gtc race which is similar to the Pro - however a word of warning - I would normally expect to fit a 53/54 frame. I ended up buying a size 56 Cube Agree. If you're buying online, I would check the geometrey specs very carefully first
