Hi all, thank you for the help/info on my last topic about the argos carbon bike, and to look else where. I did just that.

I went to lakeside decathlon store today, to try out the triben 3 (red one) road bike. This bike has had a lot of good reviews on line about it. I thought I was going to need a 54 size frame, and they had them in stock.

After chatting to them for a bit, it turns out a 57 size would be a better fit for me.

They had it in the white frame triban 3 bike, but when I was looking around I saw a fit 5 in the correct size.

As far as I can tell, it is the same frame/forks as the triban 3, but it has different gears and a flat bar.

So after a couple of laps of the store, and a lot of talking later, I was the new owner of a fit 5.


thanks for the wise words again
Ian

Nice looking bike - enjoy !

A set of Ergon grips made my flat bar road bike a much nicer place to be over long-ish distances (and so it begins .........)
