Hello all, nooby here!
Does anyone know if Decathlon intend selling an XL version of the new 540 drop bar.
I'm 6' 3, inside leg 33.5 so pretty sure I'll need the XL but can't see it on website nor could the Decathlon, Giltbrook (Notts) store staff tell me if they were going to be made/getting any.
Thanks

A month ago I was in Decathlon, Wednesbury. I asked about the XL. Looking on the computer the assistant said that it would be in the warehouse by 22/6 and in the store by early July. As you know, it's still not available.
The flat bar is in stock in all sizes I believe. It's my understanding that this will happen with the drop bar version too. As for sizing, I'm 6'2" and I tried out a large. It was definitely too small for me. Nice bike! I'll be passing the store again shortly so will pop in and update, if need be.
Good luck, and lets hope we get good news soon!

Gavin,
I've done a review of the bike on the Decathlon site. I've asked the question. I'm not sure it will be answered but you never know.

Gavin,
Peter Lazarus, UK marketing manager has replied.
"Dear Sir, Thankfully the XL size is now in stock and is arriving in the stores and the online stock should become available in a few days in this size. Regards, Peter Lazarus UK Cycling Market Manager DECATHLON"
Great news and a very prompt reply. All credit. I know you'll be as pleased as I am. Regards!

I popped into Decathlon, Wednesbury this morning. Whilst there I asked about the 540, as it still hasn't appeared on the web site. It's in the warehouse (the one in Spain) - they have 157 of them. Staff aren't expecting any instore imminently and they said they should be online by now. I've ordered mine in store and it should take about a week to arrive. The tunnel/Calais situation could delay things a little.
