The Triban 3A has lost it's carbon fork which was one of the biggest reasons people bought the Tribans over Carrera bikes. It's also got a Microshift groupset which is considerably worse than the Shimano 2300 groupo that is on the red T3.

Find yourself a red T3 or buy the new T5, don't get the T3a though!

I went to Decathlon to get some bits for my original red T3, couldn't resist a quick ride around the store on the white 3a and black 5a.
White 3a has a heavy front end compared to my bike, the black 5a felt really good unsuprisingly.

Get the original red T3 or add a hundred quid and buy the black 5a
