For those asking about a 650c wheel upgrade:

I've had my 650 Triban 3 for just over a year now, and have just recently replaced the wheels with some Team Vision 30 650 wheels. Less than £100 for the set on eBay, brand new. Lovely, lovely wheels. Now my bike looks like this:



I ride over 200km a week on it, commuting and club rides. It's a dream.

I bought Conti GP4000s from Chain Reaction (less than £50 for the pair).

Other upgrates have been new tape (Lizardskins), Charge Spoon saddle, SPD pedals, and I've had to replace the cassette and chain because I have ridden it so much. Apart from wearing bits out, though, upgrades are non-essential for a first time road bike rider. I rode the original stock wheels and tyres for 4000km with only two punctures!

Only 51cm left in stock now

Even though the rest of the sizes aren't in stock - but I don't even see 54 in the drop down list - is that just a glitch or I am missing something? Good to zone in on a size for when they become available next - I am 5'9" and the guide suggests 54 is probably what I should be looking at.

I don't think there is anything similar to this for this price hence the 1200+ degree heat. You are probably looking at the 500SE at £300

Seems only the smaller sizes left in stock for the moment -:disappointed: wonder how does the carrera parva which people are talking about on the other thread for roughy the same price right now stacks up? Looking for a commute bike(10-15 mile a day on city roads), easy maintenance in the sub 200 region - any suggestions? many thanks.

Can anyone please recommend a bike for around the same budget as this one. Suitable for a beginner just looking for a decent bike for daily commute. My height is 5ft 8 inches. Thanks

20 mins ago.

The 51 and 60 are greyed out, been like that for a while. When did you see them live?

That was fast. :laughing:

Only 45 and 48 coming up for me...

Seems like 45/48/51/60 are all back in stock! :wink:

Ordered the 48cm. Thanks for your note as that as well as a few other comments around suggest it will last a while too even if she continues to grow. Can't go wrong really for that price. 2nd hand ones on Ebay going for more than this price!

My missus is 5ft3, I bought her a 51cm but it's being swapped on Saturday for a 48cm as she finds it too big.

I'd recommend 48cm as it gives you far more options to customise the size.

My daughter (just 12) is at the top end of the 48cm size guide at 5'4" tall and inside leg 28" (71cm). Even though a 51cm would probably be ideal, at £150 tempted to go for it, and she does have 2 younger brothers who'd inherit it. Anyone similar size or experience with the 48cm give any advice? I've always been slightly more happy on a slightly smaller frame than my size personally.

burkey_89.... you message me but then i try and reply and you do not have Private Message enabled.. lol

45cm and 48cm still available...

​yes it did fit

I have a 51 for sale which is rideable for me at 5ft 6ish but I going for next one up

My wife is also 5ft. Did it fit??

I am 5'9 and bought a 48 for my missus who is 5ft. It is tiny, and looks like a kids bike. I couldn't even sit on it. You will need a 54

When I rang they told me they only had the 48 cm left so I tried it. It is tiny and the 51cm isn't much bigger due to the smaller wheels. I'm picking up a 54cm second hand as the bikes are amazing quality. Still waiting to sell or return by 51cm

Dam it I wanted one of these but being 5' 8" I think the 48cm might be a bit small.

I ordered and received my bike after that incident. I think that they have limited stock that fluctuates as people place, cancel and return orders. The 48 cm size is still showing as in stock. I suggest to force-reload the page (hold shift whilst clicking reload) as cached data can cause the stock shown to be out of date.
UPDATE: Now showing as out of stock. It's worth checking back over the next few days though, force-reloading the page each time.

Thank you creating the deal honeymonster86; I'm very happy with my bike.

This happened before and they cancelled the order s few days later as it was an IT glitch. Fingers crossed you get it.

48cm, 51cm and 60cm are currently showing as in stock. I got the 63cm and I'm over the moon with it.

Anyone selling a 60cm or know if it'll come back in stock :disappointed:?

Starting to feel that the 51cm may be too small for me too now and might have needed the 54. Going to see how it feels again tomorrow. Anyone interested in the bike if I decide to try and return it/sell it? I'm in Lincoln.

Difficult to know if the wheel comments relate to early ones, they may well be fine now. Always a trade off between weight and durability.

Yep, pretty much. I broke a spoke back in March, but had it fixed and trued immediately and then went touring on them with panniers, still rolled fine afterwards.

Wheels look really nice.

One of the best upgrades I ever did to my road bike was swapping the FSA Tempo chainset with square armed bottom bracket, for a Shimano 5800 and Ultegra bottom bracket. Instantly not only looked better but saved 800g! You can pick barely used chainsets up for £20-40 (have picked up a RS500 one for £20 from gumtree) + bottom bracket for £11.

All good then, nothing broke. Just wondered as some reports of wonky wheels and dry hubs. Perhaps for those that have just received theirs, its worth checking the spoke tension feels even and the hubs roll as they should.

Yeah, two mainly:

1) Not sure if the stock wheels can take a 10 speed cassette (I think they can, but my new ones definitely can) and I am thinking of upgrading the groupset (10 speed Tiagra maybe) in the next 6 months or so.

2) I'd ridden the stock wheels for 4000km and they're nothing special. I asked lots of cycling friends what the best first upgrade should be, and pretty much everyone was in agreement that wheels are best. I've been flying up hills far more than before, so they were pretty much right. I have noticed the bikes rolls faster and it feels much nicer to ride as well. Also, I desperately needed new tyres, and thought it'd be a shame to whack some lovely GP4000s on crappy wheels.

As I said though, it's not necessary at all unless you start getting into road cycling.

Looks very nice mate. I have just received mine and will take it for a spin tomorrow :smiley: I have only ever been on a mountain bike, so this should be fun! Im glad they dont have the click shoe pedals as im a beginner, but maybe in due course i will upgrade them myself.

Was there a reason you swapped the wheels?

For those asking about a 650c wheel upgrade:

I've had my 650 Triban 3 for just over a year now, and have just recently replaced the wheels with some Team Vision 30 650 wheels. Less than £100 for the set on eBay, brand new. Lovely, lovely wheels. Now my bike looks like this:

Looks very smart mate. Can't wait to get my 51 Saturday.

Finished building mine (well the missus') last night, in the extreme gears where there is a large crossover (for instance largest front and rear the cogs) the chain will drop to the middle front chainring, but other than that it's well behaved. Will see how she gets on but swapping to a double front is looking appealing to avoid that...

Looking real nice though with rubino pro tyres, cosine saddle and a lifeline bottle holder:


**saddle set up for me to test it**

On a side note jimfu if your chain jumped off at the front you need to set the mech limits to stop that happening in the future. YouTube is your friend.

I'm 5'6" with short legs and the 51 is a perfect fit on the minminim positions for me. I've had the same experience as everyone else, the gears need some tweaking, first time I changed up on the front the chain jumped off! Really impressed that it came almost ready to ride.

I'm no cycling pro, this will be my first road bike but the frame just looks tiny and with me on it, it feels like I'm riding a child's bike. If there was no 51cm for me to collect I would keep the 48cm and make it fit as I don't ride too far. I'm around 5ft 7 mate. The stand over height was quite large (from the frame to my groin). I felt like I was leaning a lot to reach the handlebars (as my seat has to be quite high to fit me) hope that helps you mate b

Out of interest, what height are you? Why do you think it was too small, standover height or reach?

Very pleased with my 63 built today.

Got the shimano shifters as well.

Can't think of too many things I've bought of such build quality and value for that money. Thankyou OP.

I believe they have tried to improve them, but yes not great to keep having problems.

If you ride in the wet, stock wheels will not last long. It's a known issue, poor seals, bearings will rust and free hub will fail. Google it, it's on many forums and even on reviews on decathlon site. I had mine replaced under warranty, but after that expired and many bearing changes the free hub failed again. Now have a nice set of rs010's, much better. Wish I'd have upgraded sooner, would have saved hassle of all the times I replaced the bearings.

I bought 2 today in Glasgow. couldn't believe my look! Great service too, I wanted a 60 sold out of course, but just as well as the 57 is a great fit (I think) (I'm 6'1'') apparently the 60 is 3cm longer. I got the last 51 for my son who is about 5'7''.

A great bike to a road bike novice, just spent an hour, really like it. Jumped from 3 to 1 a couple of times but probably more down to me. Shimano on my 57 and microshift as above on the 51.

couple of points:

there was a 57 left in the store at about 4pm and another (possibly 57 but definitely not 60 or 51)
the guy in store said you can bring the bike to a store for a free check over after 3 months
365 day no quibble (hmm) guarantee 365 day!!!

happy :smile:

I have received the 48cm and it seems a bit small for me so will be returning. I am collecting a 51cm on Friday so hopefully that suits me better :smiley:

Yes, but if you have cookies from last session it may not show til you refresh or use different browser.

48cm back in stock

Received mine yesterday and, unfortunately, the rear mech/hanger was bent.

I called Decathlon and, as the bike is out of stock, they offered the "upgraded" 500se as a replacement (price matched).

I'll take delivery of the 500se on Friday hopefully. From what I can see they're very similar bikes (the 3 and 500se), with the 500 having microshift mechs.

Just put mine together earlier and noticed the Microshift levers. Mine also came with red hoods instead of black like on the website. They seem OK but the front derailleur has the same issue as yours. Also when shifting down it jumps straight down to the smallest ring, even when it's supposed to be on the largest. Definitely some tweaking needed.

My pedals seem OK but I haven't had a proper ride yet. Will probably replace with clipless at some point anyway.

As for the size, I'm happy to say that it's fine, much better than I first imagined. I did flip the stem to raise the handlebars, and lowered the seat to something a little less extreme - this is my first road bike, so even now it feels a bit weird! Looking forward to taking it out for a proper blast soon :smiley:

Just picked mine up from my kind neighbours and built it up.

The one I got is 51cm, a few things of interest (to me anyway haha):

- Microshift shifters (was expecting Claris - so that's a bonus!)
- 650c wheels are not as small as I was expecting in my head.
- the supplied pedals are very gritty (replacement may be required).
- weighs 9.7kg with everything fitted.

I just need to tweak the gears (front mech not shifting onto largest chainring). Then it's ready to go.

Overall very impressed with the quality and attention to detail, especially for £150!!!


New tyres should arrive tomorrow, but It's not only about he weight though...

Spending £50-75 on a wheel upgrade I think is arguably of limited benefit, if at all, save the weight of a couple of Mars bars and might well be weaker to save weight. Cheaper to buy better tyres/inner tubes.

I am 5'7" with 30" legs and it fits perfectly for seated riding. Possibly a little cramped if you like to stand when riding.

This is my point, you can pick up some okay £50-75 wheelsets for 700c.. but nothing for 650c.

I think I'll try and leave it standard. :smiley:

I would be interested in your experience as im a similar height/inseam and cancelled my order because I thought it might be too small.....

Don't see why it would be too small, only talking about a few centimetres that can be tweaked with a longer stem/seatpost, and can fit an extender to lift the headtube if you need to.

If you have to spend £200 on a noticeable wheel upgrade, is it worth it?

Mine just arrived, I had a quick look at lunchtime but haven't put it together yet. My initial impressions are that it's going to be too small (I'm 5'7 with 29.5 ish inside leg) but hopefully it will be OK once I'm on it. Compared to my mountain bike it looks tiny!

I thought it was strange what she told me too. Im expecting this 48cm to be too small for me unfortunately but with a free return its worth a shot. If it is too small and anyone has a spare 51cm they are wanting to return please PM me :smiley:

The 51cm bike I ordered for the missus is being delivered today. After reading reviews I also decided to get some different tyres, from the limited choices available in 650c.

I should have done a little homework on 650c - I fear it's going to be a PITA for wheelset upgrades since there appears to be only two options in stock at the moment...

But then again, it's a £150 bike - so if she really enjoys it and outgrows nothing has been lost. :smiley:

My 63 has been despatched too! I'm so happy. I had expected to receive a cancellation email.

Yet my 63 has been dispatched

Just had the email saying out of stock. Rang up and apparently they found a bunch of bikes in their EU warehouse so selling them off. They told me it was an IT glitch and they only have 48cm left. They are sending me a 48cm to see if it fits me, if not I can return for free.

Picked up mine from Sheffield Decathlon store. O MY! What a bike! and What a service!

It rides sooooo smoothly. the gear is at a bit funny position, comparing to my old Giant hybrid bike.
The wheel is only 23mm! very slim!

The service is epic! the guy told me he has assembled 4 already today, with 2 more to collect.
I preferred the lower seat, and he sawed the seat bar for my liking!

the bike comes with free light as well, not as good as cateye ones, but really can't complain for 150.00!

51 still shows in stock this evening

I have ordered this bike based on people's comments. I have never rode a road bike before and have no idea what makes a good bike or not. If someone can please message me a few tips on cycling and what makes this bike such good value for money I would appreciate it :smiley: thanks.

Come on Sherlock, was the deal posted and heated at £300 or £150? :man:

Nonsense, there are very few road bikes with such a good frame at this money. To get a carbon fork on a £300 bike is great value.

Picking mine up today. Hopefully able to try it in store for size before riding away on it.

At £150 this might be a deal but not at £300. Weights nearly as much as my full susser. My mate picked up a hadly used allez which is far better for the same money.

51 cm showing as in stock right now.

I ordered the 63cm earlier today - I hope it gets fulfilled.

Placed order around 6AM and order confirmed. Just I got this email.....Complete waste of time.

Ordered one woo :smiley:

I have the 54 which seems about the right size. I am about the same height. Hope it helps

DAMM would love a 57cm one as this bike seems perfect.

Still looking for a 51cm. It shows up as available but then when you select it the website says out of stock :disappointed:

I jut cancelled my order - the 51 frame didn't bother me so much as the 650 wheels. So should be one more in stock for interested parties right about now :smiley:

I'd be interested in replies to this, as I'm 5.7 ish.....

51cm back in stock.

Opinions I'm 5.6 ish reckon the 51 might be too small? I had a 54 in my past youth :wink:

Damn must have missed it whilst asleep.

Thank you! Managed to order a 63cm which I'm delighted about.
Been waiting ages for a 63cm B'Twin at a reasonable price :innocent:

51cm and 63cm back in stock

I might have been one of the last too, hope the orders are fulfilled

Thanks OP, I think I must have got one of the last ones! Looking forward to getting back on the road!

Can someone PM me if they cancel an order for a size 51cm bike :smiley: Thanks

All OOS, shame as I need a road or hybrid! Boo!

Out Of Stock :disappointed:

OOS

Where is this bike made?

Just about to check out the 51cm and as i went to pay it sold out :disappointed:

interested or just trolling?

​it's not so much looking a berk that's the issue, you'll find it a painful ride on long distances.. way too cramped I'd think.

​absolutely suitable for canal path. modern road bikes are tough and though this isn't high end per se, you're hardly taking it on Paris Roubaix.

Well I bought a 51cm Triban 5 last year with 650cc wheels. I'm 5'7" with 30" leg. I found the 54cm too long in the top tube whereas this fits comfortably. It is always easier to make a small bike fit (within limits) than too shrink a bike which is too large.

Whether you want to ride a 650cc bike though is a better of personal preference and is generally whether you think you will be seen as riding your kids bike. Because in the cycling world there are lots of top class professional cyclists who rode or ride 650cc bikes such as Emma Pooley and Laurent Jalabert, a real pro whose life was so unfortunately cut short.

I'm 6ft 3. Just ordered the 51 - got no choice. It look a berk, but I'll have a wallet full of cash left! Boom!

I'm tempted to order the 51 too but scared it might be too small :disappointed:

I have ordered the 51 even though Im about 5.7 (and a half....) I have a Boardman 53 and had to swap for a shorter stem, plus have the saddle quite far forward. I'm hoping this is the lesser of two evils...might need a longer stem :laughing:

I cant decide....do i need it .....really! Aaaarrrrrrgh

Would buy like a shot as I need to excercise. Problems are - damaged knee thats getting worse, and nowhere to store the thing, and even if locked in backyard it'd be gone overnight

Was looking for a 700 bike, but now it is sold out.

Finally someone posts a Bicycle that is not the price of a small car.
Here Here

Yep, I'm 6'2 and it's ok for me, if not slightly too big

The price and reputation of the bike is excellent for this price

Why is this bike so good

very hot deal, good entry level road bike

Cheers. Hmmmm, I probably would be looking to upgrade once I get up and running. The 650 wheels kind of put me off so I'll have to have a long think over the weekend!

No delivery to ireland !

Would this be suitably to ride on a canal path or is it strictly for road use

Good deal but only 51cm in stock

How about 5'1”?

No worries, thanks for the reply

Yes

I know it's early but the 51cm Would make an ideal Chrismass present for kids, you'd just need to find somewhere to store it!

What a stonking deal though!

one of THE best sub £300 bikes at half price. stupidly good deal.

Think I need a 57 :smiley: will keep my eyes peeled and fingers crossed

Don't forget the "Heart Design" Rear Cycle Lights

sent them a message on the off chance they might be getting more stock in?... :man:

Stonking deal...... been tempted all the time this deals been up, even though i already have a newish road bike.
Probably better for me that its now oos.

This is what i call a hot deal... shame no sizes available ! :disappointed:

Why are there 51cm bikes left? Does nobody have children they want to force into liking cycling?

Damn, only 51cm left, wanted the 63cm :disappointed:

voted hot

... and gone again!

nice

Just ordered the 51cm for my missus who is 5ft3.

Anyone know what length cranks the 51cm has?

Got a spare 5800 172.5mm chainset laying around that would look nice on this. :sunglasses:

Now to order all the accessories: lock, lights, bottle holder and ladies saddle.

I used to own a triban 500 with 650 wheel 51cm and im 5ft6 didn't find it small at all was great bike great handling i would of stuck with it but its hard to get hold of wheels and tyres for future upgrades. I now have a 700c bike but still miss the triban .

63cm back in stock!! Just ordered one.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-a530-spd-single-sided-touring-pedals/

No Tour de France for me this year, as no stock.
I was going to win it this year too !!!

60

What size frame would be good for someone 6ft2?

Argh sorry dude already cancelled. Only in Cheshire too!

Hi Ben, I might be interested in your 60 if it turns out to be too big, I cover a lot of the country so depending on where you are I probably could collect

great timing for my question: i need to get new pedals for my triban 500se as ive ragged mine, any suggestions? i would prefer not to go for clips as i play football some evenings and can ride in my astros - are there any clip one side/normal other side pedals? Thanks all.

It was really easy to put together, think it was only the seat and handlebars I had to put together

5ft6, 30cm inseam. Would the 51cm frame be too small, any with experience of this bike know?

I've read that this bike in particular seems quite small compared to others.
I currently have a 54cm Claud butler that's slightly too big but worried the 51cm triban may be small. Bah!

If only Peter Dinklage was in the market for a road bike ......

Great news. That's made my day, hope he enjoys it :smiley:

51 cm still in stock

Oos

no big sizes left, if only they had 63 cm stock left!!

Thanks OP. I've been looking for a reasonably priced road bike for my sons birthday but even secondhand have been as much as this. Also 51cm is just right. That's been hard to find so thanks you've made his birthday. Lol Now just got to work out how to put this together.

Hi all, I'm 5'9 what size do any of you recommend for me? & is this offer available in store?? Thanks in advance, Garry

damn :disappointed: missed it, only the dwarf size left now.

What type of tyres does it come with? I like 700c25 tyre.
can I swap to 650c25, maybe?

Swap the tyres out for something a bit more hybrid like Schwalbe Land Cruiser Road Tyre. Will good on road but also good if you travel on towpaths.

I'm 6'2" and really after a hybrid rather than a full on road bike, but this seems such a good deal that if I can catch a 60cm frame in stock (assuming this is the best suited frame size for my height), I'll be sorely tempted to go for it. The majority of my riding seems to be on roads, so I think this'd be a decent enough option.

missed out as well for a second time. gutted. would have needed the 57.

oh well, will keep my eyes open for a hopeful third time lucky moment

Missed out again!

All sizes now back in stock!

Amazing deal for a budget bike.

They might if you're lucky, but it is very straight forward to do yourself. I think I only had to attach the handlebars using an allen key. The wheels (if not already on) are quick release and will take a matter of seconds to lock onto the bike.

bought one 51cm. fingers crossed.
650 wheel IS small!
I am 168cm, wearing 30 30 jeans all the time. :disappointed:

I chose to collect from store. will they put the wheels together and do the necessary adjustment for free in store?

Opinions I'm 5.6 ish reckon the 51 might be too small? I had a 54 in my past youth :wink:

only 51cm left.

Too late, not sure I've got the stamina for it anyway!

Isn't your inside leg measurement more important than your height? Size guide says 51 is suitable for 28.5"- 30" inside leg?

Opinions I'm 5.6 ish reckon the 51 might be too small? I had a 54 in my past youth :wink:

Doh missed out, too busy working lol.

51cm is fine for me at the same height, I wouldn't want it any smaller though

Opinions I'm 5.6 ish reckon the 51 might be too small? I had a 54 in my past youth :wink:

I don't have any experience of the Triban road bike range, so the following can't be taken too rigourously. However, I'm 6'1" on a different brand road bike, and find the 57.5" size of this to be perfect. You may well find that raising the saddle is the least of your worries, with reach to the handlebars being a bit of stretch. Shorter or longer stems are available to change this, but I'd try to get the right size for you in the first place and then make any minor adjustments as needed.

Might have to cancel my order for the 60cm and hope a 57cm comes up.

I bought a 54cm and I'm 5'10 and it's a perfect fit. Just bought my missus one in a 51 (she's around 5'4) so will be a good fit for her. I cannot recommend this bike enough, and for £150 it's an absolute bargain! I would say that the first (only) upgrade needed would be the wheels as they are a little heavy, but otherwise I can't fault the bike. Very light and robust bike and have been using mine on long distance rides for over 2 years, with only tweaks made to the gears and brakes. Unless you are racing in comps, get this bike and save yourself some money!

I paid the same 4 years ago, almost tempted to buy another and sell mine on ebay.

Damn, just added the 57cm to basket, and went to checkout and it's gone :disappointed:

Is it different for everyone? I'm after a 60 and the 57 is showing as available for me but the 60 isn't

There's a 57 now available.

Very happy with my purchase for the last deal - I bought a 51cm as I am 5ft6in and it is a comfortable ride, build quality of the bike is exceptional

I don't recall that size being available unless it was sold out instantly.

Nice deal... though I've missed out on a 57 :disappointed:

I've just cancelled mine after reading above comments. Don't want a bike i'll be uncomfortable with so expect another 60cm to pop up :smiley:

size guide puts 51 at 5'-3 to 5'-6

Only 51cm left in stock now

63 now out of stock

great deal OP

I'm somebody who would pay a lot more on a bike than this... but you are getting a lot for £150 here. Have some heat.

From description: This also includes free delivery if you can't get into a store.

Good price if you can find one that fits.

Click on the size guide and just a white box !? Also is it just collect instore as nearest is almost 2 hours away ?

I reckon it will be too big yes.

Argh, I've gone 60 and I'm about an inch shorter than you. There were no 57 so a big bike is better than no bike eh? :confused:

I have the '14 T500 in 57 & the '15 M720 in 57 also. I wouldn't want anything larger!

Hmm James May was taking the mickey though of course :smiley:

I'm 6' (well, technically 5' 11.75") and used to own the 60cm. I sold it because I always felt it was too big for me and wished I'd bought the 57cm.

Is 51 to small for 5'7? Inside leg roughly 32?1

Ahhh! Was waiting for a 60 (I'm 5foot 11) and they're OOS. I think the 63 would be pushing it!

Hmmm 6foot 3 will 63 be ok?

Also ordered before it went OOS.

For £150 this is a total no-brainer; great bike...

only 51cm and 63cm left

Already have 2 bikes, knocking on a bit, tempted..... MUST RESiiiiist!!!! :neutral_face:

Went for it, thanks

thanks OP, I got a road bike from wiggle a month or so back and my wife has been after one since. I've managed to get this one for her.

Thanks!!!

Darn last time my size was sold out this time too! Would 60cm be too large for 5ft 11?

If its helpful, here's the review that first got everyone talking about this bike:

Bought this last time it was on. Nice to see more sizes in stock. Just buy - you won't be disappointed

Unbelievable deal, going to get very hot!
