Cube or Claud butler ?

[sawyer280769]

I have been slowly but steadily getting into my road cycling. Generally doing a couple of twenty milers a week with a very occasional 60-100 day out. I really am enjoying my cycling. I currently have a 2010 Claud butler Milano and it seems ok for my needs but I have noticed that it ( or maybe it's me) struggles on some climbs. I have the chance of a 2008 Cube Ariel for £250. I'm thinking of selling the Milano to but the Cube. Anyone had a cube aerial ? The reviews seem ok but looking for some feedback/advice from someone who has had one. Thanks I advance

If you are happily doing a couple of 20 mile rides a week with occasional 100 milers thrown in I doubt it's your bike that is holding you back on the hills. Stick with what you have, hills are hills regardless of what bike you are on and you will have to pedal if you want to get to the top!

Or you could always convince yourself and/or partner that you really really Need that second bike for winter to save the other for best. 2 bikes are better than 1. It's cycling law, don't shoot the messenger, I'm only saying.

If you can afford it, go for buying it to have two bikes. I now have two bikes again and it means if something goes wrong with one, you don't have to shelve riding while waiting for parts (or you can just leave whatever is wrong until the weekend if you're lazy like me!)
