Cube Agree GTC Pro

    Anyone any experience of the Cube Agree GTC Pro Compact?

    Am looking around to buy myself a half decent bike and came across it. Cheapest price I can find is €1799 in Cycle Superstore.

    What attracts me to it is that the 50cm frame has a short top tube at 504mm. I have a problem with comfort on my current 50cm compact frame which has a 530mm top tube. I feel that it is too long for me feel like I have to stretch which makes it feel uncomfortable on long runs. The stem is also shortened to 80mm. I've had two mates which are a lot more knowledgeable than me when it comes to bike set up, and they both feel the current frame is right on paper, but still a little too big. Saddle heights and position are fine and I have no problems with my legs. Just I feel it in my back and elbows from what feels like overextending slightly

    They used an online tool to calculate optimum frame size for height and reach and it came in with a 50cm frame.

    Anyone any thoughts on this conundrum..? :confused:

    What height are you and what is your inside leg measurement

    If your friends have seen you on your bike and know their stuff then I'd go with what they say.

    5' 6" and 29" respectively. As I said, the online calculators point to 50cm frame. Problem is, I can't get comfortable on it - maybe it's me :o
