hi all. I am a big fan of Triban's now is my 3rd. After my 1st Triban 500, I then went up to 520 (Red/Black 1) brill till got pinched in Manchester. Anyway replaced with same model 520. Was tempted go up to next spec 540 but out budget. The only gripe I got with BTwin's is they could put nicer finish on the frames! as in a lacquerer on frame to give it a slight shiny finish and on 520 a bit of design on fork. I was looking for a Cycle cross at 1st - and hoped Dechalton would bring out a range of this I think they would swipe the market with them!! So come on any big cheese reading -- 'Cyclecross' ranges up to XL frame! My tiny bit gripe also that at bottom range Road bikes seem to be all dull colours (A bit more brightness colours please BTwin! Well this is all folks - I guess many Triban 2016 models are generally 'Happy' with the Tribans???
Regards lee

Sorry to hear about having your bike stolen. I know what you mean about the finish. However, I have a T5 that comes up really shiny after using Muc Off and a bit of NBike Spray. My Mach is similar, although not quite so shiny. Personally, I think the colour scheme for the 520 is the best in the range at the moment. Although, every time I see one of the other 2016 models at Sportives etc, I think about how the colour schemes work. After initially disliking the Ultra colour scheme, I find myself hoping to win the lottery in order to be able to buy one!
