I need help deciding out of these which to go for:

Btwin Triban 3 red (decathlon)
Revolution Sabre (edinburgh bike coop)
Cannondale CAAD 8 2300 (edinburgh bike coop)
Merida ride lite 88 (local bike shop)

Cheers for any help. Obvious price differences between them, any other suggestions let me know.might stretch the budget if it is really worth it.

The caad will have the best frame but you need to ride them. Triban cheapest but will likely need new wheels and tyres

From your list the Cannondale stands out as the most highly rated by most reviewers and owners. Great frame and holds its value better than the others - usually.

Not here offten enough to argue
Let me think - a triban 3 or a caad 8 are you seriously trying to decide between these two bikes????

Sorry sorry. I typed it out then it all deleted so retyped it without budget.

My budget is 500, but maybe would stretch a little if it was really worth it.

The triban is 200 less so is there that much of a difference?

Cheers for help

I started off with a triban 3 but couldn't get on with it, upgraded to a CAAD8 and the difference was like night & day. Don't muck about, get the CAAD8. The bike is great to start with and you can upgrade at your own pace (if you want to).
