cutting this short . Seen a bike i like on german bike-discount.de , its a cube Stereo 140 HPC SUPER race 29 blackline . carbon , was £3300 (uk price £3600) down to £2800 but only in size 16 ..so a no go . www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/stereo-140-super-hpc-race-29-blackline-20573/wg_id-7259did a little googling came up that CRC had it for .....wait for it ........£2379 ... wow wee i though ...then looked at the spec ..the spec is for the None SUPER version .. but they have both bikes advertised under the None super , the blue and black and the Blackline whith different SKU's . so is it worth the risk ? as the Blackline is the one pictured but not the title heading and spec. have a look and see what i mean . If i order and its not the blackline version delivered i can always send back .. no point in phoning in case they get there mistake corrected . www.chainreactioncycles.com/cube-stereo-140-hpc-race-29-suspension-bike-2014/rp-prod114159cheapest i can still find it in the UK is still £3600 and no discount on it yet . |

But I have ordered it now and so let's see if I end up getting a the black and white with full XT group set and fox 34 kashima ..will be a absolute bargain if I do ..I bought the last one so now it's greyed out on CRC. |

I think you'll get the one you ordered rather than the one pictured! If you say anything to them about it not matching the pictures, they'll probably say something like 'the pictures are for illustration purposes only'.
If you do get the pictured one.... Bloody hell!!

OMG yes pal I will Be coming down in October if it is the blackline super HPC ,if I get sent the none Super I will be sending it back and a refund ..it was worth the gamble as im 80% sure it will Be the blackline with full fox and XT group . I had the last one and all is left is the blue and black none super. Cross fingers ..I'm incredibly excited if it's the black and white Super version and a £1300 saving . |

Hi mate , but there was actually 2 different versions for sale with different SKU and it actually says blackline in the sku but no spec list for the super ..They have plenty of stock of the none Super version in 18 and 20 inch but only 1 left in 18in blackline .. I know what your saying but now I have ordered the blackline it's now showing out of stock and only the none Super black and blue is there ..even though the pics of the blackline is still showing . I won't grumble to them if they send the blue none super version as I will just say to them i ordered the blackline as it says in my order confirmation that it is the blackline I have ordered and just ask them to pick it up and have a refund .. Just a gamble I suppose but I have a good feeling . |

I'm now 95% sure im getting the blackline version of the bike because i had the last blackline all the pictures have now been taken away from the CRC site and no sign of it . I have had no contact from CRC saying there is a mistake with the product number or anything like (yet) , order say processing . Could be a bargain of the year . Along with £40 quidco too which tracked 2 hours after buying .
clicking on the link now the bike changes color to the NONE SUPER version .

Fingers crossed you got yourself a bargain. Look forward to seeing it soon  I hope I have got the bargain ...still no email or phone call from CRC to ask if I ordered wrong bike . On website the bike I ordered is grayed out (ordered last 1 in an 18in ). I think the price should of changed when I clicked on the bike i bought, as there are so many variations of cubes now looks like CRC thought it was just a different color and not a £800 difference with fox 34 CTD kashima and carbon bars and full XT . Soon will now but can't stop getting my hopes up which I shouldn't really .if it comes then I will jump up and down like a little kid at Xmas . |

Have they taken the money from your account.
Once they have you have officially entered into a contract with that company and they should deliver said item.

I really hope you have dropped on, sounds like you have but a word of caution - similar thing for me last year with Halfrauds - they had a spate of wrongly pricing stuff on line, I bought and paid for something at a bargain price (only gels so not huge money) they accepted the money and even delivered to store, but when I went to collect they flat refused to hand them over stating the wrong price. Got home and money had been refunded to my account. Long story short I threatened them with court action as to me the contract had been made. They invited me to take em to court - which obviously I would'nt over a £10 order. Needless to say I have never darkened their doors again.
Just a word of warning mate - don't want to piss on yer chips but don't get too excited till that bike box is in your house.
Good luck.

Just a word of warning mate - don't want to piss on yer chips but don't get too excited till that bike box is in your house. Good luck. I hear you mate . Its too late im already excited so if the wrong bike turns up or no bike turns up then it will be world war 3 lmao ..nah on a serious note i will just ask them to explain themselves as its clearly a fuck up by them and i have taken all the screen shots necessary with the Blackline color being in stock at time of ordering and will just ask them for a little courtesy and give me a £100 gift voucher lol and my refund of course then i will just order this . www.leisurelakesbikes.com/p/14003/cube-stereo-140-super-hpc-sl-29er-mountain-bike-2014?gclid=CjwKEAjwnNqgBRDdgOitrZPj6yYSJACM86tDx7R-psPy6GDiJSvxg70Ou0YIB4ggM15bjEJagO9aTRoCXvbw_wcBWith the red version if i add a £30 VIP membership with the bike i will get back 5% in vouchers to spend on the store , and other benifets and also you get a muc off cleaning kit . 3% quidco . would bring the bike down to £2800 . not so much of a bargain but still a very good price for a bike with all that kit . www.leisurelakesbikes.com/p/8332/vip-membership-with-free-kit |
