I'm looking for a decent but cheap road bike with a triple chain ring for about 500 quid. Any recommendations

complete bikes coming with a tripple chainset seem to be more difficult to get these days - the current fashion is for a compact double. I much prefer a triple. All I can suggest is to have a thorough online search to see what you come up with. being prepared - if you come across that 'must have' bike, to change the double to a triple.

Both of these usual suspects at this price point.

Agreed, Trek 1.2. I got a 2008 model in Oct 08 for £400. Perfect all-round "cheap" road bike with room and fittings for mudguards and a rack. I have done 1300km on it. The BB was very creaky, and after a couple of attempts to sort it the LBS put a new one on.
It is excellent

having the Tricross sport wiv triple .. no way will you need it for flat road riding.. actually engaging it now I have to fill in 3 forms and pass the resolution forward to the committee giving 14 days notice...
it does come in useful tho at times such as getting out of a Delamere Forest carpark straight up a seemingly innocuous bank that went whoa after 1 metre of its 3 metre high ascent.. [I fell off 'cos I didnt have those forms filled out] ...
