New guy with a new Cube

[dele]

Hey everyone,

I had my heart set on a 2013 Peloton SL after deciding to upgrade from a fixed to a geared bike. When I finally enquired to get one, I was told by Cube themselves that the Peloton SL model would not come to Europe due to competition with it's Carbon bodied older brother (the Agree), which in a weird way, made me want it more!

After trying all the official importers who all told me it wasn't possible, it was a great feeling to take delivery of this last week:

What a smart looking bike! One criticism - the handlebar angle seems really low. Great bike though

Welcome from another Peloton (2011) owner

A smart looking bike you've got there, with the added bonus of the wipe clean finish - just add GT85. I'd agree that the handle bars need rotating upwards a tad too.

Nice looking machine but your bars need to come up a bit

thanks for the help guys, They're like that as the flat bits on the handlebars are level as shown in the pic, but they're meant to be angled upwards so I've corrected that now

got this to go on too:

Seriously, how to make a not so newbie completely jealous. You may well have just spoilt my weekend. Swallow my pride and say nice bike though, hope you enjoy, just not too much..................

 

[Cycleops]

Welcome, very arty photos.

I this is your first geared bike, I hate to think what your next one will be! I have just had to go and give my bike a cuddle and tell her that it is allright
