Well I got normal, but due to the huge girth of my middle aged carcass the xxxl size look 3/4 length.
True story.

Cube will be delivered to me within the next 7 working days. Hopefully have it for next weekend for a spin out unless there is some bike park lakes action happening.
Edit, email back saying dispatched tomorrow will arrive on Friday. The commute to work will be a bit easier from Monday. The remedy has been hard work.

Today's ride in the lakes with Rick draper was a bit of a tough one. Borrow dale bash is a real good route. Great time as usual on there.

Went for a ride round the country roads with the girlfriend this afternoon. That cube is great. Really comfy compared to a road bike and not a slog about like my mountain bike is. I'm just not a road bike person I think, this will be perfect for the daily commuting and riding about I do.
Needs some proper pedals though. Overall verdict, great.

Returned to Hamsterly today for the first time since pretty much destroying my shoulder there back in January! was a bit apprehensive at first but soon got up to speed, really missed getting out on the bike properly!

I do enjoy Hamsterley. Which is it you ride? Trails or the free ride/dh runs?

Had some prs and 2nd place icons on strava the last 2 days on the commute using the cube which is odd as I used to ride the route on my road bike. Didn't think it would be that fast to ride about on.
