I don't think anyone will have had for more than a year as it shot to fame in one of the summer issues of cycling active. Maybe try the yacf or bike radar forums for new posts?

lately i started to get a bit skeptical about this bike because of some of the problems people have faced with the bike even though i have tried the bike out a few times

I had a test ride on a Triban 3, and now I'm pregnant!

most of the problems with the bike is possibly down to newbies buying them , most bikes unless you buy them from a LBS are setup pretty dry

If i was buying one of these bikes i would strip the hubs grease and check them i would also clean degrease and re lube any moving part and ensure the gears are setup correctly

 

[defy-one]

most newbies to cycling wouldn't know how to do that. i bet even longer term cyclists may not have stripped a bike down to that level

im still not sure anyways but u mean lbs as independent shops or independent shop and chains ( like evans and cycle surgery )

 

[ianjmcd]

No local bike shops that are not part of a ig chain and generally they are cyclists too
