Managed to get the missus one of these at the weekend, apparently decathlon UK had a shipment from Europe where they were struggling to shift them. Β£150 paid online and a couple of days later a shiny red 51cm T3 turned up: The 51cm is shipping with microshift shifters, which is a bonus as they look a bit nicer than the silver ones IMO. It's not yet seen tarmac nor has my missus even sat on it yet, but before any of that I decided to change the tyres, tubes and saddle: So it currently looks like this at 9.78kg: **the saddle height etc needs to be adjusted for my 5ft3 missus - but I have it that high so all 6ft of me could go and test it out, as you do. Contemplating swapping the chainset out for a double (105/rs500) as the triple may be a bit temperamental for her liking, if I do then I may also swap the shifters/rear mech/cassette for some Sora 3500/9 speed (all from the spares box ). But other than that it's a fantastic little bike that will remain relatively unchanged.

Love these bikes, my lad's first road bike was one of these with 650c wheels. I was so impressed with it I picked one up for me as a winter bike and it rides lovely.
