Dear all,

I've been drooling after the Cube Nuroad Pro for a while but it's never available in my size. So I've now started looking at alternatives and I'm thinking about this one: Rock Machine Lukk 40 https://rockmachinebikes.com/no-no/bikes/product/lukk-40/1929

My friend says the components aren't good (like, in comparison to the Nuroad Pro that has Shimano Cues) but I can't tell. From browsing Reddit it says the Microshift Sword is comparable in quality. Or is something else off about the Rock Machine?

This is not really part of the criteria but I think the Rock Machine also has a pretty colour. My real criteria is a good gear ratio range, as I have steep climbs where I live, which I want to survive on the way up, and I want to risk my life going down.

Components are:
