Just now tried the triban small ... a bit too big for me ... so the xxs can be a fit ... i believe it comes with straight handle bars. Will have to check in other decathlon .. this store did not have it

The bein looked good ... but is it a road one or hybrid ? Couldnt make out
It's a flat bar rigid framed bike. Normally when people talk of road bikes they mean ones with drop handlebars. A hybrid has flat bars (with a rigid fork or suspension). I'd say what you have at the moment is a hybrid

Yes i have a hybrid and looking at the options looks like my best bet is changing the tires ... the drop bars will be difficult to get used to and i have only a few months left before the event . My current bike is perfect for my london commute etc.

pick up the phone :smile:

A pair of decent 28 or 32mm tyres and skinnier tubes will cost under £50 though
Yes you are right ... that is looking more sensible option now
