You should avoid harcoding URL prefix in your code, especially when there are alternatives. I suggest using the option predefinedAcl: 'publicRead' when uploading a file with Cloud Storage NodeJS 1.6.x or +:

const options = {
    destination: yourFileDestination,
    predefinedAcl: 'publicRead'
};

bucket.upload(attachment, options);

Then, getting the public URL is as simple as:

bucket.upload(attachment, options).then(result => {
    const file = result[0];
    return file.getMetadata();
}).then(results => {
    const metadata = results[0];
    console.log('metadata=', metadata.mediaLink);
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
});
