Just bought a new Bike.

I've just ordered a Cube Aerial for £599, a 2009 model reduced down 20%

What do you guys think of it? Hopefully it will be as good as it looks! The spec sheet looks fairly good for the price.

woop i do apologise, posted this in the wrong section, could a mod please move it?
Thanks

 

[darkstar]

so nobodies heard anything about this bike then??

 

[DJ]

No but it looks nice and the spec seems fine, so you tell us!!

One question, is it a fast tourer?

 

[Stereo]

Weight - 1400g

That's a light bike.

I know nothing about specs but it looks a nice bike! When do you get it?

Looks a bargain at £600. It got a decent review in Cycling Plus although came bottom against the other 3 it was up against but then again The Cube is £250 - £300 cheaper!

Let us know how you get on, really fancy one myself at that price

I hope it's a fast tourer, as i'm hoping to ride LeJog next summer on it!
The whole 1400g weight will the frame weight i presume!
It should have arrived today, but now reckon it will be tomorrow as it is still en transit to the 'Hub' And yeh it does look quite sexy doesn't it, i'll post a lil review once i've ridden it!

Right the bike has arrived (well after Parcel force turned up at 6:50 without us knowing and dumped a card in our flower bed which we later saw out of sheer luck!)
The bike looks brilliant, the finishing is top class. The instructions were in german though which was a slight problem, luckly it's all pretty easy to figure, oh and there were no allen keys!? found some old ones which fit though. and i didn't realise i would need to wrap the grips on the bars! Such a newbie....
Now off to buy some clipless pedals and shoes from the LBS.

I am looking at a cube road bike clicky good spec and yes the 1400g is the frame weight I think the one I am looking at is around 9kg's or 18lbs, it has aluminium frame with carbon blade forks.

I personally love the look of them but I am also looking at specialized and Giant as well.

I am having a look at the B'Twin Sport 3. At £600 looks a pretty good spec.

That is a very nice looking bike and not that much more in weight than the Cube (0.8 kgs).
