While I appreciate the ambition to improve upon an existing design, I can't help but question the need for such extensive modifications to the Cube Nuroad C:62 SLs. The bike already boasts impressive performance and comfort, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing or advanced composites may not necessarily result in significant improvements for the average rider.

Furthermore, altering the tube shapes or implementing internal cable routing could potentially compromise the bike's signature handling characteristics. Aerodynamic efficiency and weight reduction are certainly important considerations, but they should not come at the expense of the bike's overall ride quality.

As for the use of advanced materials, while they may offer some benefits, they also come with a hefty price tag and could make the bike less accessible to a wider range of cyclists. Ultimately, I believe that the focus should be on making incremental improvements to the existing design, rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel.

Oh, absolutely, let's just throw some 3D printing and advanced composites at it and see what happens. Why not, right? I'm sure the Nuroad's "signature aesthetic and handling characteristics" will be just fine as we drastically alter its frame geometry and material selection. I mean, who needs consistency or predictability in their ride?

And hey, while we're at it, let's add some internal cable routing for good measure. Because nothing says "aerodynamic efficiency" like a bunch of cables crammed inside your bike frame. And don't worry about reduced weight - I'm sure those new materials will more than make up for it.

But seriously, if you're experiencing cramping during long rides, maybe focus on your own physical conditioning and hydration before worrying about optimizing your bike's frame geometry. Just a thought.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm for optimizing the Cube Nuroad's frame geometry and material selection, I must humbly disagree. The bike already boasts impressive performance and comfort, and I question the necessity of altering its signature aesthetic. As for advanced materials, they often come with a hefty price tag without significant improvements in ride quality or durability for the average cyclist. I believe we should instead focus on promoting the joy of cycling and the preservation of vintage bikes.

 

[dsops00]

I see your point about cherishing vintage bikes, but let's not romanticize the past. Sure, those bikes have a certain charm, but are they truly superior in terms of performance and comfort? Or are we just attached to their nostalgic appeal?

And about promoting the joy of cycling, isn't it more important to ensure the rider's safety and well-being? Improved materials and design can contribute to that, not just the simple joy of pedaling.

By the way, have you ever considered e-bikes? They might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they do make cycling more accessible and enjoyable for many. ;-D

Nostalgia, a powerful force, can blind us to the benefits of progress. Yes, vintage bikes have a certain charm, but are they truly superior in performance and comfort? I daresay, dear user, that they are not. While I understand and appreciate the allure of the past, we must not cling to it at the expense of innovation and safety.

And speaking of safety and well-being, let us not forget that the joy of cycling can be amplified by the incorporation of modern materials and design. Improved frame geometry, advanced composites, and even electric assistance can contribute to a more enjoyable and accessible riding experience.

Ah, e-bikes, a contentious topic, to be sure. While some may scoff at the idea, I argue that they make cycling more accessible and enjoyable for many. After all, is it not the very essence of cycling that we should cherish - the wind in our hair, the sun on our faces, and the simple pleasure of moving under our own power? E-bikes allow more people to experience this joy, and isn't that a worthy goal?

So, let us not romanticize the past, but instead embrace the future with open arms and an open mind. And, dear user, let us continue to challenge the status quo and promote innovation in the world of cycling.
