I bought my BTwin Triban 3 about 5 years ago. It was an end of line bike as they were phasing out that model. It has an aluminium alloy frame and carbon front forks. I think I paid £250 for it (reduced from £300) which I thought was a bargain.
When you look at the current range of Decathlon road-bikes they are all really bland colours. Even the ones that are blue or red are a darkish hue or only a red or blue streak on a predominantly black or darkish colour. Maybe it is just me but I like vibrant colours. I put a white charge spoon saddle on the bike and it looks absolutely fantastic (fantastic enough for the bloke who nicked it; Lucky for me the white seat was enough for me to spot the guy riding it and I wrestled it back off him).
Presumably, Decathlon have some kind of marketing data to back up their choice of colours, but I personally do not understand why the colours are so dull. Every time I see a bike with nice colours it seems to be very popular. I'm thinking of brands like Bianchi who have that turquoise bike with the black lettering; Absolutely gorgeous!
Perhaps it's just me. Do you agree or disagree?
