Hi. I want to buy my first race bike. I only use it for leisure and short 10-15 Km rides, 2-3 times a week. First, I wanted to buy the cheapest one and I found some Vikings (150-200£). Now, I didn't expect for them to be exceptional quality but I heard they're absolutely rubbish and parts break very early. So, ok, I'm willing to upgrade but no more than 300£. In my country, there are are no good second hand bikes so I have to get a new one. These are my only 2 options. I don't understand the difference between them; The Sprint is 285£ and the Triban is 320£, but has lifetime warranty. Please give me some advice.

    Triban 300 is a good bike but the Sprint has the latest and better Claris gearing also one is a triple (Triban) the other is a double crankset. Go and have a look at them if you can then decide.
