Picked up a Cube AMS 125 RX yesterday from my LBS and took it out on a maiden voyage at Wareham today.
I must say it handled everything superbly, the nobby nics were incredibly grippy and predictable(except for a small "incident" on some stuidly wet tree roots). I absolutely love full suss after starting out my (relatively) short MTB career on a hardtail - it allows you to just attack the trails in a way that's just not possible (for me) on my old HT.

One happy chappy here :]

Our snow got bored and left :]

I wouldn't have *chose* black, but had very little choice as it was a 2010 sale bike - but it does look better in the flesh I must say.
Superb spec for the money too!

nice bike - and think of the scrap value of that stem alone ! 😉

(black bikes are best, by the way)

Hey .... I recognise that photo!
I shall sue you for imaging rights - to the tune of one square of Xmas fudge!

It is a nice bike Dan - you were much faster on it as well! Like the red and black look as well 😉

Incedentally - as a complete thread hijack . It was my first proper ride on a new bike at the same time and it's lovely ( even though it spat me off 3 times ! Much nicer ride than the hardtail it replaced.

Here she is 🙂
