I bought this new from Decathlon for my youngest son back in July 2014 when he was only 8.
He's 12 now, approaching 13, and this year he has just got to the point where he is starting to outgrow it so it is time for it to move on to the next lucky owner.
This is the bike that really shook up the bike industry when it was launched and was unanimously accepted as the best value for money starter road bike by a long way. It is a proper bike with proper components and was often touted as being comparable quality and spec to many bikes costing double, or more, the Decathlon price of £300.
The bike is still in excellent condition as it has been kept for special occasions. I would be surprised if it has covered any more than 500 miles. Frame is unmarked, wheels are good and brake blocks are still full thickness. Everything works exactly as it should and as good as the day it left the shop.
He has had a couple of tumbles on it resulting in a scuffed r/h shifter and small tears on either side of the saddle. I have just fitted fresh bar tape as that had also suffered in the falls so the bike is now ready to use and apart from the minor cosmetic items already mentioned is in perfect condition.
