Because its considerably cheaper to build one than it is to buy one and if you build one you can use much better quality parts.0

No it isn't unless you already have the parts.I don't do smileys.

I doubt your buying power exceeds that of Cube, unless you intend to buy used parts or already have the parts, you won't build a bike for the selling price, even with something like an overpriced Spesh.
By all means build the bike to the spec you want, but unless you do as above, it won't be cheaper unless you plan on a whacky spec which would see you spending a wedge on 'upgrading' the new bike before you rode it.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -

I alredy have all of the parts just need a frame.0

Cube only sell complete bikes. Their strength is good value complete builds rather than spectacularly good frames. They are OK but not the sort of thing people buy for custom builds.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

I'm talking about the fact you say any frame and then say it has to be a Cube frame. You also don't state which (Cube) frame you're after and don't give a budget so no one can even suggest other similar frames from other manufacturers."Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes

He did say in his first post. Cube Stereo 29 or 27.5. As Cube don't do frame only he won't be getting a new one anyway.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
As others have said, Cube don't sell frames only.
What about the frames Bikescene sell? Any of those do you?“Life has been unfaithful

Pretty sure all the Stereo's are now 27.5 or 29 - so does he want a 120mm, 140mm, 160mm ?"Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes

It's irrelevant which one he wants because Cube don't sell frame only.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Building a bike from components I can do in about 2 hours if I have all the components ready, but given the overall tone of your posts I guess it would take you some time!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -

As others said, no frame only option so look second hand.0 -
