Road Bike Triban Rc 120 Disc Brake, Blue

I have owned the bike about 10 weeks and done 900 km on it. It is basically a good road bike, but IMHO not for beginners to road cycling. 1. Gearing too high. There are about 3 gears at the top I never use, and a lower gear on the cassette at the bottom end would be useful. Sometimes I cycle hills at more than 15 % incline. 2. Seat post has not enough adjustment. I am about 178 cm tall and have the medium frame, and I could do with a lower seat, but it won't adjust lower. About 2 cm cut off in height from the seat post would be useful. 3. Slick tyres not useful for a beginner to road cycling. Some slower tyres with some tread on them would be safer than fast slicks. 4. Flat handlebars instead of drops would be useful. For most hand positions on the drops, the brakes can't be reached easily. Not as safe as flat handlebars. 5. �450 bike with plastic pedals ? How much more would proper metal pedals be ?

Great value for money Good first road bike

Came very quickly and was well packaged, very easy to assemble, attach handlebars and pedals. I did not use ones supplies as I use toe clips. The bike handles well with a very good riding position. Microsoft gear change very easy to use and an excellent range of gears, including a 34 tooth crawl gear!Disc Brakes are very effective and easy to apply. An outstanding bike with nothing near its quality for the price.
