Triban 3 Owners Club

The price rise I mentioned yesterday for the 5A now applies to the online as well as in store .

Pleased I ordered mine last night

I noticed that when I was reserving my T3, the price rise is why I'm not buying a T5A. It just puts it in a place I can't quite justify.

Question for you Tribanites:

What are the tyres like? Puncture easily?

Rode on them for 7 months with just one incident - a double puncture in the wet so I must have gone over something very sharp hidden in one of the many craters on the roads around here. When I switched the wheels for the pro-lites I fitted gatorskins and got 3 punctures in a week, but none for the last month or so. It was hedge cutting time when I first fitted them, though.

Picked up my 5a today, price instore was 399 but for some reason the system charged me 429, must be the new price on system already, after some price checks they refunded me the 30 quid, the mech said they including the manager were annoyed that decathlon have decided to increase the price especially after its went on sale for 399. In the 30 or so mins I was talking to him there were atleast 3 or 4 people having a good look and thinking about buying the 5a, he said they have sold a fair few of them already

Can't wait to take it for a spin tomorrow

I won't say I haven't had any punctures on mine yet that would be an invitation to the PF.







(But I haven't!)

I thought I'd upload a picture of the original Triban 3 taken before it's maiden voyage this morning. Nothing against the Triban 5a as it is a very good bike, but you guys are taking over the forum, lol.

Lovely bike, Mr. Bow.

 

[Ozzrahog]

Nice bike, the white tape looks good

 

[Radchenister]

Nice ... but it needs white wheels, white saddle, white Shim pedals and a white water cage .

Never seen one like that

 

[Dickie Bow]

The bottle with pump, the lights, the handle bar tape and the Michelin Sport tyres were an optional extra at Giltbrook for an extra £28.

Can a T3 ever be too red?

I think not...

I'll be interested to see if I'm offered that when I go to pick up my T3 tomorrrow.
