Road Cycling

I’ve always had ultegra on my last few road bikes. I don’t need electronic shifting on this one. Actually found this just now, looks much better. Has the shimano crank too rather than Cubes own proprietary one. And it’s carbon. Better colour. No fixing points on the top tube by looks of it though but I’m not even sure I’d actually use them. Well I’d definitely not be using them if I bought this!
Only available in large, was measured up today and they said I was medium.

 
Agreed that it's hard to see any excitement in that Cube. Second one a little better, but just something about Cube that doesn't thrill me.

No interest in this?

I didn’t even see that! Not the best colour
 
Better than that first cube :p

Only downside being it's 1x11 and maybe you were filtered on 1x12 which is why you missed it? Probably doesn't change much in the real world though
 
FFS. I've just been complaining i've got loads of work to do and here i am looking on Australian bike shops!

My top choice. No idea of the brand but it's a love/hate colour and seems a decent spec



EDIT. nope. I've found your bike

12 does actually make a difference imo, that extra fat gear is good to have, my current is 40t front 11/46 rear but perfect world I'd have something like 40tf 10/46r

the new sram groupsets are out so deals are probably on for previous gen.. and new gen goes up to 13spd
 
Some crazy bike prices at Winstanley's, fire sale before closing?

£699 for 105 7000 hydraulic brakes is bonkers!

I like them both! Give my thanks to your employer for paying you to do this. I'm going to Trek this afternoon to see what their stock is like before making a decision but those two are extremely good value.
My wife already thinks I'm weird enough but thinks I'm even weirder after I told her someone in Spain I know on the internet had found a possible bike for me. Perplexed is the word. :cry:
 
Haha mine has nothing but resentment for you guys. Cause she'll recommend something and it's "oh you wont listen to me but what do your little forum friends say, huh?"

"Ooooh, forum fwends"

My partner may or may not feel the same way about this place.
 
need to get my gravel serviced - 6.5k km done without any...ive changed pads etc, chain, but bearings, bb cables/hoses are beyond my intrest...
prices of good mechanics went up by quite a bit...approx £200 for a full strip ...
