I'm thinking about getting one of these,but I'm 5'7",which according to Cube's site,is top of the 16" frame range,and bottom of the 18".Does anyone know a bike shop with either a 16" or 18" stereo 140 within 30 miles of Barnsley,so I can sit one one ,and work out which size I need. Good karma to all respondents.

So long as you can fit a 150 or bigger dropper, get the 18" size frame. They're modest in size/reach and so it's very unlikely to feel too big.

Ignore what Cube have called them; the 18" frame has a 16" (400mm) seat tube, so is what would be a 'small' in today's money, but still has a decent reach (for a 16" frame.) I'm 5'8" and have tried both the 16" and 18" ally Stereo 140- the 18" (ie 16" in reality, small) fits me better.
