Tony_J replied to Tony_J's discussion Tricross 'v' Cube SL cross? opinions"Hi Steve,

Richard Coleman-Taylor replied to Tony_J's discussion Tricross 'v' Cube SL cross? opinions"The Cube you mention is, I believe, a hybrid bike. Perhaps consider a Cube X-Race comp? It's a proper bargain at a shade under a grand for the 2011 model. It may perhaps be a little too racy for your needs though."
