You are missing some important details, such as ... size?

I've got a 54cm Triban 3 (red) that I might be selling. It's in good condition (usual slight marks from use). Just had a new cassette and chain and wheels upgraded to Shimano R500s. If it's the right size give me a shout...I'm only in Northamptonshire, so not a million miles away.

They probably melted as original Triban 3 wheels are made of cheese TBH

Re the OP, @biggs682 ?

+1 for @biggs682 and he's not too far from you. About forty miles I think, in Wellingborough.

So cheesey i actually sold a pair i bought as a winter wheel after a few weeks as they were heavier than the old pair i already had !

I would say probably a 56 cm frame then, if one with an old-fashioned horizontal top-tube, or the equivalent in a compact style.

I'm almost 5'10 almost and ride 54cm frames, I am long legged and shorter in the torso. A 54cm triban however would be too small from what I gather

I'm the same and a '56 is just about right for me (although I also ride '55s and a '57 easily enough ).

Just what @smokeysmoo said! They ended up getting binned.

I have a road bike you can have for £50, by no means is it top of the range but I am 5"10 and fits me perfectly, could do with a good home and a will need new tyres in the near future
