I'd give this bike 3.5 stars. It's good but not brilliant. I like the weight as it's a light bike. Delivery was smooth and quick. The front fork is black rather than red as in the main image so this should be changed. I quickly replaced the hand grips, pedals and saddle as these weren't great quality. I'm not sure how the paintwork will hold up as it's a matt finish rather than gloss and has already had a couple of scratches to it. Another disappointment is the gears jump around a bit and some of them grind which isn't great and was expecting them to run smoothly being brand new. I'd probably give 3.5 stars overall. Not sure if I'd recommend the bike.
Awesome bike

I had to get a new bike after my hybrid bike got stolen and this is a great replacement! I used to only ride to commute but now I'm really into cycling and have had a lot of fun riding for pleasure. The bike is very light and durable and works in all weather conditions brilliantly. I have even taken it on light off-road and manages well! Can't recommend highly enough! Service was good too.

I wanted a road bike with flat bars, having been used to mountain bikes for years, I then bought a hybrid with suspension for lane riding which was fine, I have never been keen on a full out road bike, I decided on the Triban 520 due to the good kit, weight and good reviews,
Delivery was very fast. The shimano Sora & attention to finishing kit and good weight are very good(like small bolts for stem to keep weight down) hubs are very smooth running,may even be cartridge bearings not loose cone & ball?? . Bike rides very well Quick and very stable and comfortable, smooth ride, sensible 28mm tyres, 11-25 cassette I struggle with on hilly back lanes where I live, this will be replaced with 12-34 which I use at moment.
An excellent bike, very well kitted for £429, which is ideal to upgrade as bits wear out, good attention to details.(I used to run a bike shop,most brands spec cheap stuff where you cant see it, this seems not the case here) An excellent upgrade from my hybrid for longer rides, could find nothing giving as much as this for the price, and its good if not better than expected, and rides very well.
Great quality price
