So ordered the bike yesterday at 9:00 am and it was here at 12:30 today. Got it out of the box raised the seatpost to suit me and took it for a spin. Hated it , really , was going to send it back !!,my thighs ached had pain in the palm of my hands at the bottom of my thumb , felt cramped and compressed on it . So I was totally disappointed with it after reading so many good reviews for it. Got it home and decided to tweak it , I raised the seatpost a little more , also turned the brake levers inwards slightly 2/3mm as I read they can cause pain with some people if too straight causing wrist to be at wrong angle. Also turned the handlebars back towards me raising the hoods slightly (2/3mm again) . Made sure seat was level and then put plumb bob on my knee to check if for/aft seat position . it wasn`t correct and needed moving back quite a bit.Then took it out again , must say that I live in a village on the edge of Dartmoor in a valley, today was not the best day to test the bike as it was very windy and I was full into all the time so I couldn`t get the full picture of the bike. However, after the teaks what a difference !!!!!!!!!!! ,still had a little pain in hands but not like previously when I was shifting positions all the time,and I think that will go as I get more used to the bike. Going uphill I was actually standing and still feeling comfortable,on my Marin standing is like pushing a cement mixer uphill.The carbon forks make a big difference , I sometimes think it only takes one person to say "this is really good" and everyone then follows because it is the latest "thing", but the carbon forks really do take the bumps well and soak up the vibrations. Probably my only upgrade will be a carbon seatpost for the same reason, soaks up the bumps and vibrations. One final surprise is the stock saddle , I found it really comfortable . So the conclusion is , if you can get to a LBS/Decathalon etc store go as finding the correct size and having it set up correctly makes a big difference. I am very pleased with my Triban 3, really good value for money and now i`m loving it .
