Cube GTC Agree Pro

[Big Nick]

I saw one in matt black and red yesterday and it really took my eye, very light and full 105 group set

Any one here got one and what's it like as there's not much online reviews wise?

I can't decide at the moment which to get either the cube or the new ribble azzurro sportive everyone seems to go for the cube when it's been mentioned as for the ribble it's only been out 1 week

Being thinking of getting a Cube Agree for a while, am also interested in the Willier Gtr and the cannondale synapse carbon. The cube does seem to give a more racy position according to the geometry on the website in comparison with the Cannondale. I spoke to the guy at my LBS yesterday and he told me that It was a sportive/ endurance bike and not an all out race machine. I will try and arrange a test ride.

Hi all.

leyton condor, your LBS is kinda right in that the Cube Agree is not an out & out racer (see Sprinters weapon) like Cav' Specialized Venge or Sagan's Cannondale Evo 6 but is Sportive friendly.

I wouldn't call the Cube an Endurance machine though but would still be comfortable for long 100m + rides.

Giant's Defy - Treks Domane & Cannondale Synapse probably more Endurance than the Cube (taller head tubes & more relaxed geometry).

There is a venerable plethora of Cube owners on CC Forum (many purchased their bikes very recently) & all rave about them whether it be a Peloton or Agree model.

Cannondale's Synapse has just won 'bike of the year' in Cycling Plus' magazine - hope this helps a little.

I love the sound of the Synapse 5 but it's around £500 more than the Agree Pro so to be honest is probably out of the equation on price alone unless anyone has any ideas how to persuade the missus !!

Threaten her with divorce?

its not about asking for permission its about asking for forgiveness

 

[Big Nick]

So buy the bike, then tell her......I like it!

Do the Pro and Race use the same frame?

Yes, I think so

I got a cube agree gtc race pro in November very good spec as it was the 2013 model and was on sale at the time,It is a little to race position at the moment as the name does suggest but on advice I am gonna flip the stem just for better comfort but obviously everyone is different,105/ultegra set,Mavic wheels and selle italia seat for under a grand.....cant argue with that..

Is there a caption that has 2 Black Eyes & a broken nose ?

That's what I would/will get when I try this game.

Do the Pro and Race use the same frame?

Absolutely - all agree's use the same frame except those designated Super HPC or SL which use exactly same shape/geometry but higher grade (lighter) carbon.
