Hi guys,
This is my first post here so i hope its in the right place. Basically i'm a keen rower and have been advised to substitute my running for a non impact cardio sport and I'd really like to get into cycling. Looking at buying my first road bike and I was pretty happy with the Decathlon Triban 3. Was going to purchase one until I learnt about the new 'white' model not actually being the same model, despite costing the same amount £300.
I then ran into a 2010 Specialized Allez on Gumtree for £250 and I must say I'm tempted. I was just wondering what your guys thoughts were w.r.t these two bikes? Looks like the red triban three is out of the picture, they appear to be like gold dust. So its white triban 3 or 2010 specialized Allez.
Thanks!
