I've been increasingly noticing Cube bikes of late - both on the road and mountain front. CRC had a ridiculous deal on a 2008 Cube Fritzz 'The One' a while back, but before I could investigate THE GEOMETRRAAYY they'd all been snapped up. Since then I've been keeping an eye on the deals with a daily BikePimp search alert, to see if anything reappears.

Cube Bikes are a German company with a comprehensive range. They've got kids bikes, a broad women-specific lady-selection, road (including time trial and triathlon), as well as the XC and All-Mountain rigs that are getting all the enthusiastic and sparsely punctuated reviews. They also have a group of bikes named 'Tour', which they might reasonably rename 'Everything Else'.

There's an English version of Cube's excellent website which demonstrates the breadth of their range admirably. It gives as much detail as you might want on the builds, such as the aforementioned Cube Fritzz which I still hanker after (although definitely not in 'cocoa', I think).

Cube seem to be one of 'those European brands' that UK riders aren't 100% at home with yet. It's perhaps because of this that there are some rocking deals around, especially on the 2009 bikes.

If any tasty bargains appear in my daily alert I'll be sure to tweet one off, so make sure you sign up.
