:L your T3 is fine just need to save the pennies and get a nice groupset on it now and you'll fly. I dunno whether to sell my frame once im done with it as im planning on buying the well and truly nicknamed, 'Triban 9' (FC3 frame ) or because ive ket all my old components, put them abck on the bike and use it as a winter bike

A very nice bike. I feel the days of us T3 owners having a large majority on this forum are numbered, all good with me. Variety is the spice of life and all that. G ot to agree with Arny about the pedals though. Get a nice set of black clipless road pedals on there, it will look even better.

i'm good with my shimano spd-520 pedals. I think it's just a cosmetic problem, not performance.

Looks very much like the T5 I got yesterday even the same pedals and very similar bottle cage and saddle bag
Out of interest how are your brakes mine were hideously loose the levers pulled all the way back to the handle bars!! As well as that the tyres very very soft and the cones seem tight.
Made me very suspicious of the rest of the pre sale set up, will give it a good check before going to play

I'd say that the brakes aren't so good, they dont brake very well, but I think this happen cause it's new, I think it will be better in two por three weeks.

Nothing wrong with those pedals mokie. At least you can walk round normally in your MTB shoes. I've seen quite a few cyclists dismount then give very good penguin impressions when they try to walk in their road shoes!!!
I don't hold much faith in Decathlon's "Safe to ride" policy to be honest. Sometimes I think the bikes are thrown together. When I bought mine I saw a few in the shop with brake cable ferrules stuck on top of the insert. (The ferrule not fully home) when the ferrule is popped into place you immediately slacken the cable! Best to check yourself then get them to recheck before you leave the shop.
