    I'm thinking about purchasing either the GTC Pro or GTC Compact.

    I was just wondering if anyone here owns one of the above and what do they think of it?

    Also from reading some forums online - the above model seems to be prone to frame failure? has anyone had any issues.

    What spec? A friend of mine has the gtc pro with full ultegra and fulcrum racing 5 wheels, the wheels let it down a little bit imo, but otherwise it is a lovely bike and really nice quality.

    I have the 2012 Agree GTC which came with 105 parts. Great bike I have ridden it though 2 Gaelforce Wests, a WAR and commuted 40k round trip a day on it 3-4 days a week and never had a problem. Ive come off a few times and bike has taken it without complaining. Looks great 2 years on. I changed out the bar tape (for 2 colour tape like the current models, looks great), brake callipers (came with low end Shimano not 105) and I could do with a new saddle.

    For the extra fue quid i would go for the pro, both good looking bikes but the pro has the hidden cables in the handlebars and better componants

    Really like to look of the Cube Agree GTC SL but have heard that the frame doesn't stand up to test of time. For €2000 approx would the Trek Madone 4.5. E a better option???
