Triban 500

[Steve Lewis]

Hi All

Just wondering if any of you have seen the latest offering from Decathlon

http://www.decathlon.co.uk/btwin-triban-500-road-bike-id_8306944.html

I knew they were releasing the 500SE, but this looks like an upgraded model - All Sora components, looks an absolute steal at 449. Blue Bar Tape, Put on my Fulcrum 7's + Conti Gatorskins and I think I have a nice looking machine.

Just wondered if any of you guys on here new anything more about them, Just happened to look on the site this morning, as my wife fancies a Red triban 3.

It does look like a good bike for the price. Popular bikes on here the Triban range.

they also have an upgraded brake calliper as well - I was reading it in the T5 reviews section.
I would have considered one to my replace my T3 (which died on Friday) but they are not yet available.
But bare in mind that if your wife needs the 51cm frame (I'm 5foot 6 and only just got away with the 54cm frame) then you are on the 650c wheels size not 700c
