Cannondale Quick 5 v. BTwin Triban 500 flat bar

[Dec66]

Thoughts?

I'm in for a hybrid to replace the Mongoose, pending opinion of LBS tomorrow as to the viability of keeping the Mongoose going.

Quick 5 up for £270 at Evans, BTWin £260 at Decathlon.

Boardman Black Friday deal?

 

[Dec66]

Nice, but that's another £80-90?

Not with BC membershIp, down to £288 (and can order through quidco for more back potentially)

Fwiw I wouldn't buy any bike without a carbon fork myself

Go ride the bikes. See what you think

I lifted one of the cheaper Quicks and was surprised how heavy it was, especially at the back.

Don't know about the Decathlon bike.
