Trek 1.5 or a Cube attempt Which one?

DULLAHAN2 · 16-06-2011 12:53pm #1

I am getting a bike on the bike to work scheme and have it wittled down to a trek 1.5 or a cube attempt. Not sure which is the best one or what differences there is.
Any help would be great

I'd go for the Cube, slightly better spec all round and too many people have Treks anyway. Even though I have an older model Trek 1.5 and there's nothing wrong with it. Hope this helps.

Pretty much same situation as Ballyhoura, have an older 2010 model 1.5 that I love - but every cycle i do there seems to be 100's of them. Would pick the cube myself.

Thanks guys. I wouldnt worry too much how many people have a trek 1.5 as this show how popular and what a good make the bike is. There is not alot between the two bikes that my limited knowledge can see. I will prob take the two for a test run before i buy. I would prefer the cube myself.

Yeah a cube for sure. Treks are tainted by Lance, whereas I'm not aware of anyone who rides a Cube who never failed a drug test.

Well from what I can see the cube is a 105 drivetrain and the trek 1.5 is a step back to Tiagra. So if your leaning towards the cube anyway that should seal the deal.
