Hi folks, I'm increasingly going off road and think a hybrid bike may suit my changing needs.

I have a 2 year old Decathlon Triban 3 road bike in red. I'll need to confirm the frame size but it fits my 6 foot 3 frame perfectly. Link to the bike here: (was £300 when I bought it)

Looking for a hybrid bike of comparable quality.

I'm based in Glasgow.

Thanks,

Martin

Shame we can't have a swapsies thread. I've a Rockhopper Expert that I've been trying to get rid of for ages, too small for you sadly!

Is such a thread against the rules?

Might be worth putting it up for sale, the Triban 3 in red usually get a good price second hand, considering what you would pay for one!

Good question!

Let me ask our illustrious overlords.

I don't see why it would be.

I might be interested... think my Boardman CX will be available soon. I hardly ever ride anywhere off-tarmac, so I think I should consider the experiment over and get another proper road bike...
