Roadie buys MTB shocker!! : Turning to the dark side!!

[RSV_Ecosse]

Having convinced myself that I was a roadie through and through I have gotten curious as to what all this MTB off road thingybob is all about.

To which end since I'm now able to grab another bike on my works Cyclescheme I ordered one of these beasties today :-

I toyed with the idea of getting a new hybrid - Cannondale Badboy looked good. Then my thoughts drifted to a cyclocross and eventually, drawn in by the Cube website and its presentation, I gave in and sucumbed to the evil MTB thoughts I was having. I'm feeling a bit strange when I say "I can't wait" to get sat on the thing and ride it.

Anyone here ride an Acid?. Thoughts on it?.

High on my list those Acids - very nice... Blingy as well.

 

[RSV_Ecosse]

Yeah, they do look really good!!. I'll be perfectly honest and admit that the looks/bling factor had me sold from the word go. They look great in the pics, even better in the flesh.

I was a dirt jumper through and through.. off roading is great. something i always try to do when the weather is nice!

Looks a nice bike.

I went a long road ride with the brother in law yesterday, and he had a cube peleton. Basically the same spec as I was riding, but i couldn't help look at it and think

"nice bike"

all the way through the day.

Hope you enjoy it.

Did someone say Cube Acid?

 

[bauldbairn]

Nice Bike!

Just had a look on the Cube website - very interesting.

All of the Cube bikes always look really good, I'd say it will be just perfect to get yourself into mountain biking. You're nice and close to Carron Valley, not he best trail centre, but alright to get the feel of this off road stuff.

Have Fun.

chain reaction sell Cubes - deffo look good in the photo ... and they may have some Cubes in a Sale, hopefully you knew that or else did research on t'web for best price.

 

[RSV_Ecosse]

Yeah, did a good bit of digging around and my local dealer was spot on with the price for the Acid 2010.

 

[Kirstie]

it's funny. mtb'ers call road 'the dark side'.
looks like a nice bike.

After today's little run, I think it should be the "damp side". Still some sticky mud out there, not sure I could throw a bike which looked that good at the countryside.

 

[Trumpettom001]

agreed - i'd just let it sit in my room, collecting dust, as i'd be too scared to get it dirty..

 

[02GF74]

^^^^ you have to learn go...

Road bikes, MTB's, whatever


Dark side, the only true one this is! - Even Yoda says so

Take all engineering principles, throw themn out of the window, and put a 12 year old on the resulting carbuncle

Anything else is just a matter of taste

And who called it "Hector"???
