So I finally decided that I would spend £300 of my hard earned cash on the much hyped Triban 3. So cash in hand I looked on Decathlon's website only to find that they had sold out of the size 60 in all 3 of my local stores and much further afield too. They did have some left in Scotland however that's a 400 mile return trip.
So with said £300 now burning a hole in my pocket I turned to the internet and looked at ways that I could lighten the pocket. Ebay, Halfords, discount bike sellers and all were falling a little bit short of where my expectations were.
So I picked up the phone and called my local bike shop, I had been it there a few weeks ago when I heard a customer asking if they did part-ex which they did. I asked them if they had any trade-ins that might be worth my while and they came up with this:
Trek 1.5 - they had just serviced it and put all new cables on it..... how much?? £300 - job done!!
