Bwtin Triban 3 sizing..

[Chescadence]

Took her out (Rosie she's called), for her maiden ride today. Rides like an absolute dream, usually in my 14kg road bike i'd pedal 38 on the front and maybe 12 on the back, with this bike, i ride 50 on the front and 12 on the back- it feels the same! The hills are ten times easier, cornering is more responsive, great gear changes,

I have a drop to bars of 6cm ish, feels good nice and comfy on the tops/hubs, and aggressive enough in the drops. She's a dream.

50 front and 12 on the cassette!!!?.............................................

You've done this before, haven't you?

I live on the edge of Dartmoor and DREAM of the day I can change to the 'big' ring! (Apart from the down-hills, that is!)

In the couple of rides I've done on my new bike I've been in the big ring (50) at the front and around 12-19 on the back depending on the pace of the group, obviously when i got on a longer ride, I'll be spinning a little quicker. - trust me, it surprised me as well. Probably due to the bike upgrade, upgrade to clipless pedals and shoes etc my old bike was pretty heavy and normal pedals! Unfortunately, living in North Wales and close to the mountains, it wont be flat too often. I've not encountered any big hills yet but the few I have, i found that the 39T at the front adequate. For the massive hills, I have no shame in getting into the 30T granny cogg at the front

60, smidge over 5 foot 10 - slightly too big for me i think - getting a shorter stem for christmas

60 cm for me and I'm 6 ft. I would like to try a slightly shorter stem otherwise good fit.

60cm frame and I'm 5ft 10.5
replaced the standard 110mm stem with an adjustable 90mm stem. perfect

60 cm seems like overkill for u im about 5ft10 and im planning to get 57 if they are in stock when i get it

I had the 57 for a few days and felt cramped. Went back to them and they changed it with no quibbles. It's a moot point now as my son has taken the bike off me and he is close to being a 6 footer
