Loving the colour coded bottles and saddle bag.

All he needs now is the Team Sky kit

Also, @Col5632, I'd be looking at moving those shifters up a bit, I don't think they're supposed to point downards like that.

It had to be done, when i seen them i thought they will go perfect

I was looking at blue Hope wheel skewers and seat bolt today.

Still not adjusted to suit but its mine, all mine.

Hope it's going to be used for more than hanging bags on!

The bag has my headlight, bottle cage and minipump in it, just waiting for me to fit them.

Just bought myself some blue deda bar tape and blue vittoria rubino clinchers from wiggle. Going for a red/blue scheme. Some might not like it, but i want it to look like a race car! :P

Can anyone recommend some brake blocks?

Blue ones!!!

Interesting colour scheme. I can see it working though

Yes, i was going to go for more red but then thought NO, I want to break it up a bit and blue is my favourite colour. Hopefully it will look good

I have been using a deep blue water bottle on mine. The contrast works well. Bit like the USA colours

Just to let you know.
The new version of the Triban Owners Forum has been uploaded. A fresher, better looking format (IMO)
Any difficulty logging in, please let me know.

Sorry Mods but this is the main channel of communication outside of the forum. Hope you don't mind this post.

....Can anyone recommend some brake blocks?

Swissstop GHP II Flash Pro Road Bike Brake Pads - Green - they have been on my T3 for around 3,250km (through winter) now and there is still at least 1/2 of that left in them yet. Stopping power in all weather is excellent (ps - they don't look green so it won't clash!). They are pricey at £24.95 but that includes P&P and they will give you plenty of confidence you are going to stop once they bed in.

That's how the bike came, I assumed that was correct, certainly feels ok

Never thought about changing the tyres to some nice blue ones

I cycle in the hills a lot and find the T3's brakes to be really poor. So I need to get some better pads but I was also thinking of fitting cross levers. Any idea which ones would fit?
