2011Cube Sting Pro HPC

Some pics I forgot to add

A couple of upgrades have just been fitted...

A Syntace F119 75mm stem now replaces the Syntace F149 100mm stem

A X-Fusion HiLo remote dropper seatpost replaces the Syntace P6 seatpost

Both have blue bits on them to match the bike

Weight is now up slightly due to the seatpost, but still pretty damn light @ 12kg/26.45lb

Now to find some nice carbon bars ~700mm wide, Syntace Vector's would be nice but they are a tad pricey

No pics for now, but I'll get some later

Syntace Carbon Vector bars found & Fitted

Weight now back to just under 12kg to 11.9kg/26.24lbs

Couple of quick pics

Looking better than ever Andy

Looking very nice Andy. Loving those bars, am thinking of getting a 2nd set of bars for the reaction for trail riding......not even picked it up yet and am already thinking of swapping parts about :roll:

They are quite tasty bars, mind you they are expensive when brand new, mine are 2nd hand

I still have the original low rise (10mm) 700mm (710?) wide Alloy Vector bars that came on the Sting...

Possibly, I need to ride the bike with the new bars to see if they are right, if they are then the alloy Vectors may well be up for grabs
