All i know is i was going to order one but they wouldnt do finance under 500 bones. Good spec and nice looks. But the triban has more reviews and in fact an owners club so is proven. I ended up with the triban and loving it.

Looks nice, has similar spec to the Triban 300 but don't know anone who has one so can't really comment.

Can't really comment but the Triban has a carbon fork I think so that trumps it for most.

Triban 3 is changing and only some stores have the old ones, seems a good alternative.
