I have one and love it. Very good at smoothing out the rough and well made with good value gear. Just check you are comfortable on it as I have 60 cm just over 6 foot and it is spot on. Also have 120mm stem - standard is 100mm but is a free switch from the shop. I would very happily get another
Check the ETT as Cubes come up small (I'm a 60 Cannondale but would need a 64 Cube)
You'd be better off paying a little more to get it from your LBS if you're not sure, then you can swap bits and get parts/servicing cheaper and help if you need it. Also it's a pita if you need any warranty work done, CRC are very good but it's still a hassle - I speak from experience.

Op, the cube agree is a cracking but of kit, but imo you'd be better with this:

I know the spec isn't as good, but it looks so choice in blue - white, and red white black is the most overplayed bike colourscheme going. I know the roadies want to see 105, bu just look at it in blue - it's fit

Got it from my LBS that now only deal in Cube. Got free servicing x12 with it! Cube are very fussy about who they supply bikes to and they had to jump through hoops to get the dealership - German quality for you. At 6'2 you may possibly need the next size up as you may feel a little hunched up on the bars. As ever the best thing to do is to try. If you lived round here I would happily let you try mine!

And for one of the many different answers, I'd say "buy a Boardman cx team" and do so on the first weekend in December when there will be another 10% off weekend, and use a British cycling membership for another10% off.
In my eyes its the ultimate commuter. I bought one as a winter bike and I love it.
Bridleways, light offroading, road based commute, it does it all with aplomb (mine has a carbon seat post added which makes a huge difference.
Assuming your commute is on road, add some 25c Gators and you will enjoy every minute.
Much as I like my CX - for proper on-road use the Cube is at least a kilo lighter?In my eyes its the ultimate commuter. I bought one as a winter bike and I love it.

My missus has one. She loves it. very well put together with quality finishing kit. For the money there little else that'll come close even from the likes of Planet X and Ribble.
In particular I like the flat sectioned bars. Might have to steal them when she's not looking.
trash, what problems did you have with yours??

I'd deffo buy from a shop, unless you are confident in sizing and making adjustments across the bike. A LBS can be worth its weight in gold when you need aftercare, plus lots of shops can better online quotes, if you drive a hard bargain.
Can't really go wrong with a Cube. Job Jobbed
I wouldn't want a CX for Sunday rides, winter and tracks they are great I wouldn't want the geometry, weight and gear ratios (not all as some have compact) for Sunday/ faster road riding

Call me cynical but was it the Cube stockist that told you how high the standards they have for LBS's are!!I wouldn't want a CX for Sunday rides, winter and tracks they are great I wouldn't want the geometry, weight and gear ratios (not all as some have compact) for Sunday/ faster road riding

Far comment about the stockists but they were not just a Cube dealer at the time. I have nothing but good things to say about them and the quality of CubeI wouldn't want a CX for Sunday rides, winter and tracks they are great I wouldn't want the geometry, weight and gear ratios (not all as some have compact) for Sunday/ faster road riding
