Toying with getting one of these...

Anyone have experience of one, or Cube road bikes in general? Cheers

Great bikes.
light, stiff & well spec'd.
Some find them a bit short reach wise compared to others, but depends how you like them to feel.

Great bike. I love mine. All the better now they're not shipping the older Easton OEM wheels.

But check the sizing and be prepared to go up one size from most other brands.

I think you should look at a 60cm first. Remember, there are two sizes above that!

I'm 5'11" on a 56, so a 58 should be ok. I run a bit of seatpost though.

Fantastic bikes.
6' and 58 here and it's a great fit but of course all body proportions vary so try to sit on one.

5ft 11 here got the 58 and put a 110mm stem plus offset post on it and now it's perfect. Too short with stock bits for my ape like arms! Great bike looks better than pics in the flesh

Are they quite a relaxed ride?
Was contemplating a Giant Defy Composite because of its geometry.
I get the impression it isn't a full-on speed machine and is a nice comfortable mile-muncher....I hope so anyway!

rascal - Cube sell the Litening as their "race" bike. The Agree is, as you say, a bit more relaxed and comfy. I previously had a Focus Cayo and was astonished at how much road chatter the Cube soaks up.

Took the Agree out for it's first spin today.
Bloody lovely.
So much road 'noise' is filtered out by the frame compared my previous alu Airborne.
Really nice position on the bike coupled with hill-friendly gears and I was actually seeking climbs rather than avoiding them 🙂
Only 28 miles but a big thumbs-up from me - wish I'd taken the carbon plunge years ago!
