B'twin Triban 3

[Alex11]

I've been after a larger framed road bike and after reading this sensational review (http://www.cyclingscotland.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Triban-3-Review.pdf) I'm definitely thinking of buying one. Probably the 57/59cm. I'm currently on a Saracen Tour1 which has got the 2300 STI shifters but only a double front cassette and no Sora front mech so I think I'd actually be upgrading!

Thats looks very nice so I'm off to Decathlon tomorrow to have a gander .. glad you pleased with it..
PS.. I'd better brush up on my technical Spanish..

Pretty used to the rain by now! It's winter I'm worried about, never cycled in winter before and I'll need to learn about the whole 'not falling' aspect of things

Looking at your rear mech I'd say you've well and truly ticked that box already

jaz, I notice you have Sora equipment, was that a later add on/swap as I thought the 3 Had a 2300 set up.

It's a combination of Sora/2300 - it's all stock, I haven't changed any components.

Ok Jaz thanks for replying mate.

I bought a 5 in Febuary and I love it, I am lucky enough to have a Decathlon nearby, great service, I bought the full btwin lycra two weeks ago, very well priced.

I hope you enjoy your trib as much as I do mine.
