Hi newbie here

[Darren Jeffrey]

Hi,

Just got into commuting on my MTB and decided to upgrade. After some research the triban 3 looked a great entry bike to see if I can stick with it. I've ordered it from decathlon and can pick it up tomorrow. Getting spd fitted rather than the standard ones and also some hard shell tyres. My old boss tells me they puncture less. Commute 14 miles round trip 4 days a week and have to say been arriving at work less stressed and more energised than if I'd driven

So anyway just wanted to say hello

Hi Darren,

Congrats on the Triban. Just got one myself on Tuesday. It's a great bike, it'll make that commute just fly by!

 

[Easytigers]

Got one a few weeks ago and you'll love it! Happy cycling

 

[Darren Jeffrey]

Thanks guys appreciate it. Not got any previous knowledge of road bikes but the triban looks and feels good

Great bike. Enjoy the following:
1) Better fitness
2) Better legs (firmer)
3) Better wallet. (although this takes a bit of self-control)

Was just bored of driving everyday to and from work. Looking forward to not getting robbed of my cash on the forecourt :-)

Darren, same here dude. Was so bored of travelling at an average of 22mph on my commute into London. Did it a few times on my old hybrid before taking the plunge with a Triban.

That's some mighty cycle commuting there! I don't think I'd ever reach, yet get bored with that average!

I think he means driving at 22mph?
