Did you buy one? I am looking at the 2014 Cube Agree Race. I am 5ft 8" and a 29.5 inside leg. The 56cm dimensions are similar to my current bike and the 53cm is way smaller. I am looking for a more relaxed ride though. There are no Cube stockists within 100km of me so I was hoping to by online. I am now stumped though. Any advice welcome.

Great thanks, I think I might wait until December when back in the UK and try both to see what I think.

Im 5 11 and ride a 58cm agree gtc and from the front of the stem to the rear of my seat is 810mm if that helps, 56cm might fit but I reckon your between sizes.

Thanks. Yes that is my thought, between a 53 and 56, so I will have to wait to try out in person which one fits best.

Hi,same question for me,I'm 5ft 8 ins inside leg 29" and i have been told both sizes of 53cm and 56cm,a bike shop recommended the 56 as i gave them my measurments, a friend who has a cube said 53 ...???
I currently have a Specialized 54.5 cm frame and that fells great but hearing the cube frames come a little smaller in sizing should i also plump for 56.????

I would say a 56 but if you like more of a drop between seat and handlebar then a 53 with a longer stem could work , I would go 56 personally if I was your height as I prefer not much of a drop between bars n seat( getting old).

Yes thanks I am the same,don't really want it too small so gonna take a view at a 56.I would say a 56 but if you like more of a drop between seat and handlebar then a 53 with a longer stem could work , I would go 56 personally if I was your height as I prefer not much of a drop between bars n seat( getting old).

I have not managed to sit on a 53cm yet but I tried a 56cm. This felt very similar to my current bike which is a 54cm. I would say that if you feel great on a 54.5cm bike, then the 56cm cube would be good for you. Please let me know what you think if you manage to try both sizes.

Nice one, which model did you go for? I am liking the look of the 2014 models, a bit pricey though, compared to the current offeringshi,finally opted for 56 cube frame and feels great at present,just a couple of slight adjustments but now ready for a few rides on it....thanks guys

I'm 5ft 10 - 34" legs but short body lol.. Specialized bikes size 54 (would have been happy with 56 too) but Cube will be a 56 frame..

I've got a 2010 Peloton. I'm 5ft 8 and I've got a 29 inch inside leg. My Peloton has a 56cm frame. This was done at a proper bike fitting and took into account that I was longer in the body and in my arms than the average for my height. It fits perfectly.
