Your username suggests that you have both a Triban and a Cube GTC. Why so upset about the bikes being reduced in price?

I was going to buy a white triban 5 but as I would only be using it for turbotraining and winter i couldn't justify the extra £200.....but now it's reduced to a £100 gap i would gladly have made up the difference for the extra spec.

Whenever I buy anything, the chances are that I will afterwards find it cheaper!! As long as I was happy with the price when I bought, I TRY and not worry about subsequent price changes! Would it be true to say that red 3's and white 5's are 2012 models? Wouldn't you expect the remaining stock, from 2 seasons ago, to be reduced to clear the stock? As a matter of interest what size T3 did you buy?

Ouch, I see 54's are available in T3 & T5! I can see why you feel strongly about it, the next bit is easy to say & harder to do........ "Try and remember you were happy with the price when you bought the bike!"

If you check out the Decathlon returns policy, depending on time and if you used a loyalty card you may be able to sort it out by returning it and upgrading at the same time. www.decathlon.co.uk/return-policy.html

Took it back tonight and they have exchanged it for me!!!! What Cube GTC have you got out of interest how do they compare ? Hi geoff, I have the gtc pro.i've put shimano rs80 c24 wheels on it, now full ultegra, syntace p6 carbon seatpost, ritchey logic 2 wcs bars and stem.it weighs about 7.5kg so makes the triban 3 feel like it is made out of lead when u pick them up one after another.how does the triban feel compared to the cube?...well bum gravy to be honest, but what do u expect....£300 against £2,500....i have taken the triban 3 back and swapped it for the white triban 5 with carbon fork and seatstays on offer for £399.....and that makes the triban 3 i had feel agricultural in the drivetrain and shifting dept.....to be honest after the cube i had a shock at how comparitively poor the shifting was on the triban 3.....the triban 5 i've got is in a different league to the triban 3 i took back
