Seems like a good price for a decent spec bike. Most of the sizes are available to order.I am not an expert on bikes.
But a full carbon frame with Athena 11 speed group set and campognolo khamsin wheels were told to me as a good spec by a decathlon sales man. Thought I will post it anyway and let the experts in the forum judge.
I wanted to buy it but my Mrs. would not let me!!

Nothing wrong with dropping some £ if it's a serious hobby. If you were a car enthusiast you'd be spending tens of multiples more. This one keeps you healthy.
P.S. That excuse can sometimes work on the wife too.

Quite - I'm sure you never ever spend more than your car is worth on any hobbies at all. Spending more than a few hundred quid on a hobby, interest or sport is nonsense, right? *sigh*

You need to get a grip by stop telling people to get a grip, you're making yourself sound like a pathetic sad loner who spends all their time trolling.

I like btwin bikes to be honest. Few things going on with this one. Exclusive to decathlon so it's bound to be the best/lowest price whatever the offer. The fact that it's 21% of surely makes it a deal. Take bike snobbery out of it and for sure this is a deal. Remember the triban 3 red? Voted extremely hot in here and yes a btwin too.
Check the specs and compare to the market... How can this not be a deal?

Lovely bike. TEMPTED to splash out. Any opinions on sizing for a 5 foot 11 rider? I'm thinking it's the 59cm model.

Always go and try if you can. I bought the Mach 720 last year on a 63 frame (emulating my old triban 3 frame size) and wished I'd dropped down a size to 61. That said, I'm 6ft5in with only a 32" inside leg. The geometry on frames differs, so best to try... If not, your in the right ball park with 59, I wouldn't personally go any bigger.

Campag Athena is broadly equivalent to Ultegra in terms of position in their range? If so, not sure this deal is any better than a carbon bike with ultegra you could get from say planet x.
Campag Khamsin wheels are pretty low rent too.
Ok deal if you are determined to have campag as opposed to SRAM or Shimano.

I don't know a lot about bikes but I can appreciate it must be much nicer to ride one which is light and efficient instead of my dodgy rusty one. Thing is though if it cost 1400 what do you do with it when you get to where you're going?
My friend had one that cost 250 and he locked it outside Sainsburys, only there about 10 minutes but some scrote had it.

Take the wheels off and use a decent lock, that puts off the majority of the chancers.

Nice bike and a good price but if I was dropping £1100 on a bike I'd want a branded bike. You could call it snobbery but really it's about feeling good about what you're riding, also a branded bike would hold its value better when it comes to selling on.
Just my opinion :smiley:

I'd rather pay that much on a car rather than a pedal bike. I mean what's the difference between that bike and a bike that is worth 100 ? Apart from it being light weight other than that not alot.

Obviously, you drive a car and have no clue. No point in trying to cure ignorance.

You're assuming the bike is purely a mode of transport, it's not, it's a hobby like golf or any other sport, which you can easily spend £500-£1000 a year on.

Consider it a gym membership that lasts for many years where you pay up front...
