Oops I did it again...

My noob ike

18" Cube Sting Pro HPC

I've already upgraded the brakes and seatpost, I have some bling carbon DT Swiss wheels en route to replace the Sun Ringle Ryde XMB OE wheelset

Anyhoo, a few not so good pics taken about 10 mins ago

:shock:

Wow Andy, looking forward to pinching that one off you

Have you traded the old one in?

 

[Andy B]

Ta for all the positive comments

It is quite a tasty bit of kit, can't wait to get it out on the trails, on the ride back from work it felt really nice, spot on top tube length I reckon

I will be selling the 2010 AMS in my signature, minus the seatpost which I swapped onto this bike, the AMS now has a Cube OE RFR seatpost in matching black and blue.

rubbish

Thats sexy

I am getting a soft spot for the cube bikes

 

[saltyman]

had a proper test yet bud?

 

[lankshear1976]

very nice and a blue x0 wouldnt look out of place on the back there

Lovely looking bike, i've become a fan of cubes. The only thing i would be worried about is the placement of the rear shock... Surely all sorts of cr*p could fling off the tyre and damage it?? Can you get a mud guard like Spesh used to do for the stumpy?
