Hi all,
i'm new to the forum and initially came on lurking for advice, i was looking for info for the Triban 3, and after reading good reveiws for a budget bike i have decided to buy one, this site has been great and the only concern is the wheels, but if i am lucky wont have a problem but have put aside a few bob if it goes pair shaped, the reason for the purchase is some theiving scote stole my beloved british eagle touristique with a life time of changes, and tweaks over the years, ( had it since 1982) spent a small fortune, but hey ho here i am on the market with a 300 quid budget and looked at everything on the market ,second hand to new etc.
i used to love cycling and still do albeit very lazy, but this years new years resolution is to shed some serious timber (18.5 stone ,oops) and hit the road, soo if you see a 53 year old fat chef looking as red in the face as the colour of the bike just give me a few words of encouragement, i promise to keep you informed of the progress.
i pick up the bike from the Decathalon store tomorrow, and will hit the road monday, i live in Northampton love Rugby, reading playing guitar and singing badly and of course embarrasing my teenage daughters and poor suffering wife , i did hear that cycling improves your love life, when my wife heard this she asked if i would take up cross stitch ...yikes, see you around!
