Triban 3 - Red - "in stock"

[Cyrill666]

Just an update for those interested in this bike, I noticed this morning that the bike is back in stock to order on line in a few different sizes.

I've just ordered mine, very excited now...

a 3 or a 3a?

I'm going to have to keep my eye out, they still don't have any 57in in stock.

I'm not sure - it's the red one with the carbon forks if that helps?

I'm not sure where you are in relation to their stores, but you can select the 57in, then click "reserve and collect" which will show you which store has your size in stock (in theory anyway).

Think that's a 3 then. From all accounts it's better then the 3a with steel forks and other changes. Welcome to the world of n+1

I was talking to Decathlon bike mechanic at the weekend, he had the triban 3 and mentioned that occasionally the just arrive back in stock without a word of warning

Very near their Lakeside store, the website says none in stock, but I will be heading down there tomorrow anyway and I'll check it out for myself.

I've been Saturday in Lakeside and there were plenty of Red T3s on display. Pretty crowded too in the cycling section.

 

[araapatlio]

Awesome, thanks. They only had two or three (already sold) the last time I was there. I'll be there 10am tomorrow when they open

 

[MaxInc]

For what is worth, they might have been already sold, I haven't checked the labels on them. Like I said, lots of people buying bikes that day

 

[araapatlio]

I guess I'll find out at 10.01am tomorrow

I guess I'll find out at 10.01am tomorrow

They open at 9:30am http://www.decathlon.co.uk/en/store?store_id=PS_UK_387

 

[araapatlio]

Even better - if I wasn't going to karate, I'd have gone tonight.

If the proper Triban 3 isn't available, is the 5a at £430 worth the extra money over the new 3a?
