paranoid purchasing

I've found a Cube Agree Ultegra Di2 SLT compact for £1899. I've sat on it and talked to the guys in the shop about it, but not ridden it yet. Before I get too tempted by it, I would be very grateful for any advice anyone could give. Thanks

    Susan, not sure if its of any help or indeed the same bike but there is a review on Bike radar - http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/category/bikes/road/product/review-cube-bikes-agree-gtc-di2-slt-13-47305/
    Just a thought

    Susan, A carbon bike with Di2 £1899 don't think you will go far wrong with a saving of £900, the colour scheme looks more appealing than some Cube bikes Iv'e recently seen. See if you can get a demo ride 1st though as it's a lot of money to part with and then to find you don't feel comfortable on it. Bottom line, you would be buying it because you like it.

    Yes, agree with Shelton, carbon frame and di2 for £1800 seems great value. Even if the wheels arent up to much you can always upgrade those later.
    Just make sure it fits!

    Cubes are pretty great value anyway let alone when they're almost a grand cheaper, also they use decent finishing kit which is rare on a complete bike.
    It depends what your priorities are; from the sounds of the bike radar link, this is more of a gran fondo bike for sportive style riding.
    However that does in no way mean it's not suitable for racing it just means the geo is a tad more relaxed and it feels a bit flexy going up steep climbs or on sprints.
    I would say unless your only using this bike for circuit races this is a mega bargain.

    Thank you so much for your comments. I looked at the review, and also found some others later. I took the bike for a test, and guess what, it came home with me!
