The 2013 GTC is a great buy, but with the amount of crashing I've been doing in recent weeks, I just don't think a carbon bike is a good idea.................

I need some help to workout the right size frame on the cube. I'm 5'9 inside leg is 32.. The T3 is a 57 and that feels good but I can't workout what I need on the cube each guide or test I do gives me a different size.

Hmmm. I'm 6'1" with a 34" inside leg and ride a 60cm 5a. I'd thought a 58 or 60cm Cube would be the winner, but even the 62cm seems to be about right along the top tube. confused.com!!!

I never thought looking for a new bike would be so hard! I'm 2 months into looking and It's driving me mad every time I think right that's the bike for me I see another one. I think because I'm looking around the cycle to work scheme price every manufacture has a model. My budget is around £1300 . I have looked a ribble, Planet X, rose to name a few and I'm just going round in circles. The latest bike I'm looking at is the boardman road pro carbon at halfords the price is top of my budget but if I join the British cycle club I can get a 10% discount (it's £20 to join) so a nice saving and I hope to recoup some of the money spent by selling my 57cm T3 (sorry) Anyway what's your thoughts on the boardman and if you had £1300 what would you buy and why? Cheers ACD I know you've already chosen, but my LBS, Ride Vertex, in Leeds is currently building Kinesis Racelight Aithein frames up with handbuilt wheels & a full ultegra groupset for £1300, if I had £1300 to spend I'd definitely go for that! www.kinesisbikes.co.uk/products/racelight/aitheinroad.cc/content/feature/107351-roadcc%E2%80%99s-25-top-cycling-products-2013The frame weighs 1,041g, which is no mean feat for aluminium!
