Triban RC500

I think the new redesign of the bike is great and I think it really matches with all of the new cycling kit that they've just released as well. Now I ...

[Decathlon - Triban RC500, Shimano Sora Disc Brake Flat Bar Road - $999. [Decathlon - Triban Abyss RC100, Aluminum Road - $499. [Undefeated Road - - $1400 (Leaning away from this one since this is just a bit too much out of my price range, however if the parts are that much better than all the other ones, will last a long time my mind can be changed for this one). [Specialized - Allez - $1020.

I used to get size “L” for the rest of the cycling jersey even from Decathlon but this “L” seems moderately too large for me. The pockets are position way too low. Not convenient to retrieve stuff from the pockets.

Decathlon's mid-range road bikes are excellent value amd good quality. The Triban RC500, RC520 and Van Rysel EDR AF (I didn't see it listed on decathlon.sg) seem to have the most bang for your buck.

Material quality is very good, the zippers are slim and smooth. The fit is loose but not too loose and form fitting enough. This is not a race fit but is good for what I needed.

The triban rc500 is probably the bike I'd suggest as well. The redwood is a good bike as well, but targeted more towards off-road and gravel riding. For just road, the triban should be the best.

Quality is very good, almost justifies the price of high end specialist jerseys. Lot of pockets including 2 zippers. Fabric quality is good and comfortable

This bike [Triban from Decathlon is a little over the budget and Will need gravel tires. It takes 36mm 700c tires (or 650b but then you have to buy new wheels. ).

This is an excellent summer (possibly 3 seasons) jersey. It's very well designed by someone who understand the needs of ordinary road cyclists. The pockets in particular are excellent. Sizing seems slightly on the small side - I'm 179cm tall, 67 kg, with a 95cm chest, and thought I might get away wi...

Not to mention how uncomfortable these bikes can be with super narrow "pizza cutter" tires at very high pressures. The cheapest new geared road bike I can recommend is the Triban RC500, if you can't stretch to that, at least get something from 2015-ish and up and save yourself the headache of trying to work on really old stuff.
