No clear off :-)
Oh I see you've kept the bottles, so the force is still strong in this one.
I hear good things on Plant X bikes, I believe they take a lot of beating for the prices on offer.

I don't think you can get a better bike for the money.

The Planet X sounds brilliant, can you do a review when you have had it a while? It's a shame that Decathlon, who got us into Road bikes, cannot keep us as customers when we upgrade our bikes! With a brand affection (love the 3, love the service etc) that other companies must envy, a lot of us look elsewhere for our next bike. If Deca had a great value upgrade bike, their brand image could improve from "great beginners bikes" to "great bikes!" At some some stage in the future, could we evolve into the Triban Enthuisiasts Club? We like Tribans, but don't own them any longer!

I've got a PX from PX. What a bike. It's fantastic. Light and responsive whatever that means. It's my DRY bike. DO IT!!

It's only dry because you don't do all the dribbling you do over the Triban as it's not RED...........

Alas, it's not a red one. I have gone for the matt Black. Getting excited now as it is due to arrive tomorrow (fingers crossed) will try and get pictures up asap. Thanks for the positive comments - Still love the Triban bikes though.

I will be keeping my T3 whatever I do, N + 1 and all that! Really like the look of this Planet X which is on the top of my wish list at the moment. Look forward to your pictures and ride review stevoI am waiting to see Decathlons 2014 range in the flesh though.

I have upgraded to a Giant Defy 1 on my CTW scheme. Took it out for it's first ride yesterday, absolutely brilliant and better then my T3 in every way. However it is most certainly not Β£700 better. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the Defy 1 isn't worth a grand (all the reviews say it is), but I think with the T3 you get a lot of bike for your money, cracking frame and forks for the price. Upgrading through to another Btwin was not an option for me unfortunately, as I can only go through Wheelies in Swansea. I am keeping my T3 as my winter road bike, and summer turbo trainer bike, couldn't be without it!

Thought about keeping the T3, but can no way justify having two bikes - Just think how many handbags my wife would want to buy if I did that?? ;-)
