okay, been given permission from the powers that be ( the wife) for N+1... since N is currently 1 ( dawes hybrid) I'm aiming for a road bike.
Since she also gave me a decathlon voucher for 'quite a bit', this effectively means a decathlon bike..
Now, I was thinking , the 500se..
but , blimmin' decathlon, how much is it? it's 379 in the store.. and i thought 330 online.. but as i post this link.. its 420.( "price drop, was 379.99" )

annoyingly, my local shop also claimed the had the triban 5 white for 299 (was 499) , I'm assuming that's a local stock limited offer , as they also had no stock..(!!!)
Is it worth driving/ringing round decathlons to find the 5? And is the 500se really the bargain claimed? What should I consider?
Any simple caveats would be gratefully received
