Ice Cube

Just uploaded a few snaps and found this that young Cubester must have taken last Thursday. Looks like it's found its natural environment......

I do like the black & white paint jobbie - even though I'm not a fan of MTBs.

I saw someone out last week on a similar bike, looked really good in real life. and, er, for future reference when taking pictures of bikes, can you make sure it is displayed with the chainset facing the camera, the valves at the bottom of the wheels, the chain on the large chainring and smallest cog, and the cranks at 45degrees, it makes it look so much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye even if it is laying down

That any better?

Each to their own, but I prefer them in black:

That is a very cool looking bicycle.

Hmm, now I don't know which one I prefer the most.

Cube bikes do generally look very good. Like their choice of colours, both of those look great to me!

It certainly sold itself to a very proud 11 yr old who decided he would go without all other birthday and Christmas presents so he could buy it! Took one look in the shop and couldn't be dissuaded.

His and hers eh !!!

Whatever . I actually bought mine later- wouldn't do to be "outcooled" by your own kids now would it! Out there in the public gaze he can do all the brave and fearless drop off stuff, so I have to rely on the bike to draw the admiring glances! I also tricked him into buying a pair of Ronhills just in case.

They are good looking bikes, my LBS sells them and they always look tempting.

Oops - forgot - so long as you are faster than your kid, that's all that counts......

I am at the moment, but I fear it's only a matter of time!
