My new(ish) Btwin Triban 3

[Fubar]

Better late than never... here are some pics of my new(ish) Btwin Triban 3 from Decathlon. Loving it so far!

Just passed 1000 miles on mine this week. Still loving it - Ordered some clipless pedals for it today! Yours looks much nicer without the pannier rack - wish I didn't have to lug stuff to work and back!

Thanks, I'm still swithering whether to "spoil" it with mudguards - I think they will ruin the look to be honest but a clean bum is tempting...

triban 3`s are great, i would buy one if i was in the market for an "entry level" bike.

Do you actually use the lights, they came on my son's bike and are a bit dim

I have these on mine and they do the job - Rode throughout Jan/Feb's rain with no issues. Dry bum beat aesthetics for me

The lights they come with are terrible, to be fair the guy at Decathlon said they are basically minimum effort to satisfy the law in Europe and he said he wouldn't use them.

I mostly do daytime riding and have a couple of those knog?? frog?? whatever they are called small rubber wraparound flashy things - good to know the main lights are there but I doubt they would be much good in the dark to "see" with.

You wont be able to see in the dark with those, guaranteed. Stick to daytime or upgrade before undertaking any night rides.

They look good, probably the best I've seen for my bike - any chance of a pic?

Aye I'll take some pics on Thursday - I Have a half day so it will be getting it's weekly clean/service then

I changed the lights on mine after I had used the ones that came with it once. Very happy with it so far.

Another for "great 1st or entry level bike"

Great spec for the cost and light as well.

Here is mine in commuter mode with the clip on mudguards. I don't think they look too bad, the rack is another matter though

I really like the look of the Btwin Triban 3. It appears to be great value.
