had my boardman road comp stolen last week, was gutted. really loved the bike
. wasnt insured (ny own stupid fault). decided to buy another bike but decided to go cheaper this time. following the advice on this forum i went out and bought a Triban 3 from decathlon.
it weighs more than the boardman and looks alot smaller even though its supposedly a 1cm bigger frame size. it feels like a more racier riding position as the front is angled alot lower.
i've just hooked up my garmin edge and took it out for a spin and on the first try ive smashed my pr on a hill ive always found tough going and also faster on what is a big chunk of my ride home from work.
its an amazing bit of kit for £300.
