titanium Cube

[Lenni]

Packed this one out for the shop today-finally some fun,after tightening chains on some 539 old rusty gates.

Very fine finish,details like 1 1/8-1,5 steerer,postmount disctabs etc.

If someones looking for a modern TI hardtail,this isnt bad..

the first elite HPT`s were made by Lynskey,dont know about 2011,think it`s taiwan?

Looks good,

It's a shame I despise cube...

And a few more of those brands I only found out about recently..

We have one in our store too, looks like everyone has finally got the Elite HPT's

Shame the one we have is not my size, the boss got one in a 20"

Lovely bit of kit.

No idea if they are Far East frames or not, would be nice to know.

Some shonky phone pics from me of ours

May I ask the reason for such a dislike of certain brands?

Just curious, as despise is quite a strong term, sure I dislike some bike brands, but despise?

Nope.

£2599 IIRC

Had short term rides with Cube, Felt, LaPierre, Had a quick jaunt on a Commencal for a little while, That wasn't so bad

The first Three all I really didn't like to ride. I'll have another try at somepoint... Maybe it was just carbon.

No it isn't is it

Shame you didn't get on with those bikes you tried, the Cubes are damn good value this year across most of the range

Carbon Cube, Reaction by any chance?
