Looking forward to its arrival, I'll post some photographs when it is here

Had a look at one in Decathlon the other day. Fabulous value.

Go on Crackle - you know you want to... You're almost robbing yourself by not investing!

I have no need but I have two sons who are very interested.

My 60cm, bought from a forum member, has arrived at my work unit, I collect it tomorrow morning.

Mine arrived yesterday, make sure you have plenty of room as it comes in a BIG box. I had a quick go with it yesterday, it's very different to the slicked-up MTB I've been using for the past couple of weeks!

I couldn't make my mind up at the beginning of the year and brought the CB Criterium actually it's not that bad for a first bike I just wish you would all stop going on about Mother Teresa triban

My 12 y/o has just done his first 25 miler on his tonight with the club. He's loving it! The bike is just the ticket for newbies and kids being available in such small sizes.

I can't claim to be any kind of expert. I've been riding a Dawes Discovery 101 for a short commute for a couple of years, but more and more I found myself just cycling for fun at weekends. By all accounts the 101 is far from a great bike anyway, so I expected a bit of improvement, but the Triban 3 totally slashed my best time for a wee 30km loop. And that's a first ride, so still not used to the gearing or riding with drops. A long shallow incline I used to puff away at at 25kph was suddenly a breeze at 30. Pleasantly surprised that the bike arrived fully assembled with gears and brakes perfectly adjusted. And it's just bloody good fun getting down into the drops again. Something I haven't done for about 30 years.

Decathlon currently "validating" my order!

Really fancy tring one of these, i'm finding myself on the road more & more now, i've never rode a 'racer' as we used to call them when i last had one for at least 25 years & think this would be an ideal starter road bike for the money.....unfortunately just checked & there are no 51cm frame bikes available at the minute

#just realised my helmet would even match #

I bought one about 3 weeks ago ... last time i cycled was about 20 years ago been using it for fitness cycles on the road and its been great ... excellent value for money and wouldn't hesitate recommending it

Seriously thinking about picking one of these up, at this price and spec think it would be spot on for thrashing about burning some of the weight off.
I have always found Decathalon staff to be very helpful too.
Question is,Triban 3 or paying Geoff the Handyman to paint the roof soffits and gutter boards next weekend?
Where's that ladder gone?
