Cube frame sizing

[DooDah]

Ok, so I think I have got lucky. Whilst browsing a well known auction site I saw a brand new (from a bike shop) Cube Agree GTC SLT 2013 56cm. It was on auction, so I just thought I would watch to see how much it sold for. I put in a cheeky bid with 30 seconds to go and I am now the proud owner at 1070quid. These normally retail at 2099 and the cheapest I have seen is cycle surgery at 1499. Full Ultegra setup, full carbon, syntace cockpit, prolight seatpost and DT swiss wheelset with Schwalbe Ultremo ZX tyres.I just hope it fits now as I am between the 53 and 56cm, but the sizing is smaller than my Boardman so I think it will be OK. Thanks to my sister in law for picking it up @Sappho96, I secretly think she quite enjoyed it.

Now for the bad news, I am not back in the UK until Christmas, so I can't even see it let alone ride it. Glad to be a new member of the cube club though.

Unfortunately the Skype bit was like torture, a bit like showing a child a new toy and taking it away!

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 offerings

I'm 6ft 2" and ride a 58cm 2010 Cube Agree GTC Pro.

Inside leg 32cm

I'm also 6'2" with a 34" inside leg, and looking to buy either a Cube GTC Pro Compact or the Cube GTC SL Compact. Im just looking at the size chart on Chain Reaction, and if i were to pick you a frame size i would of picked a 60cm of 62cm?

As I'm a bit of a noob I'm just wondering why you chose a 58cm? Is it better to down size slightly?

Cheers mate!

I'm 5'8" with an inside leg of 31cm, and I went for a 56. Bike is fine and will be fine for you at that size. TBH if there had been a 53 available I would have gone for that also because then I could have a longer stem and more seatpost, but no bothered really. Regarding bike sizes, I have a vitus in 52, a kinesis in 54, a raleigh in 55 also. So might as well get a 53 in something to complete teh sequence.

.....and that was a 56 in a cube agree sl, the one in ally that they don't make anymore but is a decent bike for the cash, so i guess that the bottom line is, caveat emptor
