Hi I recently got a new cycle. (Also my first cycle ever)
I don't have much experience with cycling. I used to ride my brother's mtb 5 years ago.
A week ago I felt like I should start cycling again as I enjoyed it a lot and my life and office timings finally allow me to go for early morning rides.
Had a long deep dive into the cycling world .
Finally thought I would get a hybrid.
But after long thoughts and YouTube and reddit and what I aimed at doing with my cycle I decided on getting a road bike.
I started looking at all the options and had some support from my brother and friends to guide me.
I started with a budget of 20k. Liked the triban rc100. But the
1x7 gearing drove meaway.
Then came the batallion 0 to 1 V3 and battalion V3.
They were great spec wise but due to my limited knowledge on cycles I wanted something that could be serviced easily.
Since the nearest shop that would service a cycle like battalion waa 19kms away , I was skeptical.
Finally triban rc120, it felt perfect had everything I needed and the nearest decathlon just 4kms away.
And I made up my mind to get triban rc120.
Looking back I had just climbed a ladder of 20k to 40k.
But I convinced myself to go ahead and get it.
Finally I got it and had it for a week , having ridden it 50kms so far a great experience. The only complaint I have is that the brakes are noisy other than that I am enjoying it.
Tldr: got my first bike triban rc120.
