I'm very sad to be selling this workhorse. It introduced me to the joys of cycling about 18 months ago, but I've now moved on to better things.
Everything's pretty much as it was when I bought it, components here: https://www.decathlon.co.uk/triban-3-red-road-bike-id_8274036.html
Except:
It has a new middle chainring (new as of about a year ago)
Wheels are Vision Team 30s -they are 650c wheels
Tyres are Conti GP 4000S II, about a year old, loads of life left
New chain and cassette as of last September (KMC X8.93 8 speed and Shimano HG50 8 speed cassette)
I've bunged an old saddle from my bits box on it, and I can put some platform pedals on if you need to ride it away. The bar tape is a bit ratty so I will throw in a new box of Charge U-Bend tape (red, obviously).
It fits me perfectly, I'm 5'4". The seatpost is as low as it could go (I have very short legs). It's done some distance (almost 10,000km last year) but I've kept it clean and maintained though there are a few marks here and there as you'd expect on a well-loved bike. It's ready to ride away. I have just replaced the brake pads and the gears shift pretty well for a Sora / 2300 set up. I've used it for commuting, touring, club runs and even some time trials. It's a beauty.
I'm based in Catford for viewings at weekends / evenings.
I'm looking for £150. Send me a message if you have any questions!
