Won't go wrong with it, love the colour scheme more than my 2014 version which is more white. Can't believe it's 150 less now with the new 11 speed 105, cube obviously dont like making profits.
Bike in for service today, feel bad leaving it in fife overnight. Hope the other cubes are nice to her.

My first bike is sitting doing nothing in shed at my folks. In two minds as to giving it away, or breaking it down and keeping the frame for a future project.....ideally I need a two bedroom flat or a garage if I wanted to keep two bikes here

There's a joke in that which I will rise above
I think I've identified the noise, but clueless as to the solution 
The rear wheel makes noise when spinning - a similar noise can be recreated by gently moving the back circle in the cassette - there is a bit of play in it. Is this normal? I'm thinking it shouldn't move like that.
I feel really stupid going to the LBS yet again, and they are likely getting p*ssed off with the sight of me - but not half as much as I'm getting p*ssed off at this bike. It's got about 1000 miles on it, has had various broken spokes, crap brakes that took 3 trips to LBS to get to a decent standard, the bottom bracket had to be replaced after about 650 miles, it's just one thing after another!
I really like cycling but this side of it is crap! It's a C2W bike but I'm still on the verge of getting the noise eradicated then selling it on and buying something else. Not sure the legality of this, but 2 cycles to every LBS trip is getting on my nerves!

I'd recommend getting it into Stirling cycle repairs instead of going back to velocity 44. Second opinion, then can go back to original place with their sheet on issues. I had to do that when I got my 1st through halfords and got scr to repair and then billed them back for it. Or the bike shop that's in Denny if that's easier for you, haven't used them myself.
