My first foray into the world of weird skinny wheels arrived on Christmas eve and I finally got it out for a ride today. Really like it, didn't want to spend too much incase I didn't take to it, and I unfortunately couldn't buy this one from a LBS as the deal was just too good from CRC.
Did a short ride after my Sunday morning off road ride. Its really strange, but I like it so far.

BMC TMR02 with Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLRs... give it to me, baby!! 
Bought it this spring. Coming from mountain bikes originally, I have to admit that road bikes are great fun.

Those handle bars look a little 'erect'!Did a short ride after my Sunday morning off road ride. Its really strange, but I like it so far.

The Cube is a nice looking bike and very easily enough of a road bike to get you hooked. Then n + 1 will surface....
I agree with Steve - you might want to adjust those bars unless a pro fitter did that. Unlikely though. Definitely worth a good bike shop having a look before you do too many miles. Enjoy.

I couldn't help myself. I may have to sell up soon. I really don't want to, but I'm really rather struggling financially, and I can't keep borrowing money from my parents...can't remember if i posted this yet but any way
Built this fairly recently up, had the frame and linkage powder coated matt black, used a few bits off my old build MC Fury, like the forks and brakes, the rest is new or was new. She's a Giant Trance of 2008 vintage I am led to believe. Superb handling bike, comes in at a smidge over 13kgs on the Park Tools scale.

Flip the stem and lower the seat post. There doesnt look like there can be much seat post in the frame and I would be worried that might crack. If you flip the stem you should be able to get a similar riding position having lowered the post. Looking at set ups like this, 29ers do make sense!...
