I would personally go with the cube because they give you the full 105 setup. where as the other two use off brand parts as a cost cutting measure.. Not that FSA cranksets are bad. They are very good but some might prefer to have a full matching setup rather than a mishmash of parts.

The Tektro TK-R540 brakes on two of the bikes arent that good but changing the pads on them to kool stop brake pads will give you a bit more braking power until you get faster/stronger on the bike and decide to upgrade them. 105 5800/5801 brakes are definitely stronger.

Thank you so much for the advice 🙂 The Cube is my favourite out of them all.
