I have been trying to buy a 57cm T7 for around a month now and keep hearing "it will come into stock soon", with the latest being it may come into stock in two weeks (Surrey keys).
Getting pretty pissed off now because I am locked into it due to cycle to work scheme and have planned my first sprint triathlon on 22nd sept. And would rather not do it on my heavy old steel bike.
I don't see why they have such low stock levels for what I guess would be the most common size...
I have heard very good things about their customer service on hear but they have given me a very bad first impression.
Its starting to taint something which I was really excited about.
Rant over but if anyone from decathlon reads this, please can I have my bike.

I get the impression that the T7 simply isn't stocked to anywhere near the levels of the T3 and T5. In the Coventry store today there were around half a dozen T5as, loads of T3as, and one solitary T7 (happened to be my size, but I didn't try it because I was there for a 5a). It didn't look like there was lots of empty space for a row of T7s either.
Do they simply sell such a tiny fraction of the numbers that they don't bother trying with the T7? I was most intrigued by the frame, which is quite different to the T5a; all the tubes are different shapes, it's not just the same with carbon seat stays. Looks good.

ill vouch for it, comfortable and capable, cant fault mine
i think that decathlon know the t3a and 5a will sell the most, its a beginners shop really and its rare for a beginner to tan 600 bucks plus on a new venture
