I should've bought this last July. http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/m7b0s6p5512/CUBE-AGREE-GTC-2014 Instead i thought i'd buy from a local dealer and keep small independent shops alive as they say. However, the bike i bought wasn't up to expectation so i was very disappointed. Anyway, it's still available.so i think i might buy it out my insurance pay out. I know it's "only" Tiagra but for what i want it's fine. I think the cassette is ok for steep hill climbing? What do you reckon?

Bargain and very smart

I have had my Cube GTC (albeit with carbon frame, ultegra and electronic nobbery) for 4 years now. It's a really nice bike.
Just have a look at what the brake calipers are. Mine came with Shimano cheese* (I've now upgraded). The chain was also cheap (upgraded too)
The frames and wheels are nice, but they do cut a few corners to hit a price point.

Nice, what size are you going after? Is the 56 a medium?

Nowt wrong with Tiagra. Mine hasn't missed a beat in 4,500+ miles and shifts as smoothly as my mate's 105.
Brifters are a bit ugly though, and the shape of the hoods is different (more squashed up) than 105, hence why I've upgraded my brifters.

you cant go wrong with a Cube, and that is a bargain

Decent bike. Personally I prefer the tidy cables of 105 shifters. The cassette and compact chain rings are fine for any hill I can think of.

Cube bikes are great..well mine is..
i really like that bike @Accy cyclist ..as said the Tiagra is good tough and reliable

I reckon a 58cm should be ok. I have a 35 inch inside leg, i hope it's the best size for me? Maybe a 60cm would be better?

Oi'll give it foive

 

[vickster]

Call Paul's and ask their advice on sizing

 

[cuberider]

Cubes do come up a touch small so double check. I think mine is a 58 and i'm 6ft with 33" inside leg

@Accy cyclist leisure lakes stock cube may be worth popping over to Bury and throwing your leg over a few before ordering on line?

Maybe you just have long legs ... how tall are you?

I am 6' 1" tall, 33" leg, and ride 58 cm bikes. If you are 6' 3"+ then I would look at the 60 cm option.

Nice looking bike! As for 'only Tiagra', looking at the spec it appears to have a 'full' Tiagra groupset unlike some other brands who say the bike has 105 or Ultegra until you look deeper and find only a couple of parts are, and the rest lower level or even non-Shimano!
