So who has actually got a Triban 3 ?

I've just washed the bike down and adjusted and inspected it; apart from tree bark jammed between the tyre and the wheel rim the only permanent damage is that pretzled front wheel. Phoned Decathlon in Stockport who tell me they sell replacement wheels for £24.99! Eeek! No wonder it bent so easily....!

The wheels were the 1st thing to go on mine. They did last 1500 miles though and I had to true them once during that time. Rear spoke broke when I was accellerating, still got me home though It's my turbo trainer wheel now

By all means buy a Triban bike but don't buy Decathlon's crap water bottle holder - it's too big and doesn't grip the bottle. Yesterday's C2C ride ended in disaster after only 12 miles when Gti Junior's bottle jumped out on a fast descending corner on a wet road under trees, causing him to lose concentration and crash. Ambulance ride - hospital - one broken cheekbone.

hope gti junior gets well soon
