That is a lovely looking bike! If that saddle's adjusted for you, it's going to be very different to ride from the MTB.

I may have just made a mess in my pants...

In all seriousness it looks a great bike and seems like a decent deal. Coincidentally I have been looking at it for my first major (for me) purchase in the bike world a good 6-9 months down the line so would be good to hear how you get on with it.

Awesome looker. My first road bike in nearly the same length of time was a Cube (not Agree GTC) but was very much in my mind when I upgraded last summer. Still love the Cube though. I hope you really enjoy it!

Been MTB for a number of years, but fancied dipping my toes into the world of road bikes as i have decided to begin commuting to work, and wanted something that would be suitable for long weekend rides.

I had on order a Cube Agree GTC, and picked her up yesterday i just love it

My first real ride today 20 mls, here are my humble thoughts on my new bike. Firstly the ride comfort is very good soaking up all the bumps the road could throw at it , the bike feels solid and true on fast decsents, and feels solid on climbs and when you come out of the saddle, steering inspires confidence in quick turns. Acceleration is awesome, attack the pedals and the transfer of power is instant
The Shimano 105 GS is slick and precise with effortless changes.
This was my first 20mls (averaged 16 mph) on a road bike for 30 odd years, but i got home after my ride feeling very fresh, no shoulder, neck, back ache ect lets hope i can say the same after a 100 miler this maybe down to getting fitted correctly for the bike, but i also think the bike itself also as a lot to do with it. i am very very pleased with the overall performance of my bike and feel it was money very well spent

Apologies if my "review" is basic, it is just my findings, and opinions after a ride out this morning.

Nice to hear that it's a nice ride. Looking at the bike, it deserves to be.
