  • Checked Decathlon and the Triban is a hell of a deal. I'm slightly put off by Microshift though. Have you used it?

    Their cheapest Sora bike is 450. I'd rather have full Tiagra and Shimano wheels for another 50 quid.

    The cheap fucker in me says I'll take advantage of Wiggle's 30 day test ride and send it back in January for a refund. Does seem a bit disingenuous though.

  • Microshift work, it's not amazing, but what I did like about it is that it got a nice clunky shift as oppose to a muted shift that the old Shimano sti shifter with the tiny thumb shifter.

    Bear in mind it use the same cable pull as Shimano, so there's no reason why you can't just upgrade the shifter to Claris and let it at that.

  • Went online with good intentions of getting a Btwin but the logic of 'if I just spend a bit more' got to me and I got this. Seems unbeatable for 500 quid although probably testing the definition of cheap.
