For that price you'll never get a bike of that quality brand new! seriously this bike is awesome already did my first 1 thousand km in 1 month. And the look of the paint on the bike is great to, sadly they don't show the rear wheel inner graphic.
These are my personal reflections of the Cube Attempt which became my first road bike ever. I was in the market looking for a hybrid bike to replace my old city bike, but eventually this changed to a racing bike instead after reading lots of forums etc from people's experiences. I wanted speed before all.
I now use it for daily commuting to and from work about 15 km. It's really light weight and very easy to go fast and rock steady, but very fast handling. The Shimano equipment seem to be very reliable and effective. For a non professionals I think the 105's stuff is good. I don't know if the Ultegra series would make as much difference for me, but at first I was aiming for that level. However the price of replacement parts will probably suit me better now also.
I ordered size 56, and I'm 174 cm tall (80 cm leg inseam). After I did a size measurement (http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CCY?PAGE=FIT_CALCULATOR_INTRO) and got the result this size seems to fit my body length, however I don't really know how it should feel either.
Right now I'm very happy to have this bike - suddenly biking is much more fun! I save approximately 10 minutes each trip (from 40 min to 30 min), in windy conditions even more. The comfort of this bike is actually much better than the old "city bike cycling style". I'm very happy and found this 2010 model for sale! Very competitive price indeed.
As of yet, I don't know about the quality. But Cube usually gets good ratings in reviews and from other people's comments.
Just purchased the Cube Attempt and I am not disappointed in the least, for 2 years I have been dreaming of owning said machine but a £1,000 pound was out of my price range. Then CRC knock 32% off making my dream come true. Plus also sending with the bike a load of free goodies i.e. Pedal Spanner, High 5 Drinks box, Drinks Bottle, Multi Tool, So thanks again CRC a very happy customer.

The majority of our sizing guides take into consideration your height and inside leg as it gives you two points of reference to help choose the right bike size for you.
All measurements are best taken in your bare feet and with the help of someone else.
Stand upright against a wall with your legs together and shoulders back.
Place a pencil on the top of your head and mark the wall, measure to the mark and take a note of your height in feet and inches.
To measure your inside leg, stand barefoot and measure from the floor, up the inside of your leg.
