Bought myself my first road bike about 6 months ago.

Made a few upgrades this past week. I know I probably could have got better wheels for the money but i though these would look pretty cool on the bike.

    Looking good goffski!

    i've got some fulcrum 5's on order for my triban 5... does the ride feel any better since you upgraded the wheels?

    check out the link in my sig to see what i've done with mine so far... i'm addicted to buying things for it!

    Hi scuba08, i'm pretty new to road bikes so have nothing to compare this bike too as it's my first. From what little info i could find on the web they're great bikes for the money but i'm not sure how the more expensive bikes in their range compare, i assume the same ?

    What i can say is i received great service from Decathlon. I had an issue with the rear wheel, took it in and they replaced it there and then under warranty and also gave it a server FOC too.

    Your bike is looking great pal! I did think about replacing a few more bits but i'm happy with it for now, don't really want to spend any more on it as i can see me wanting a new bike in the not too distant future. :)
