B'Twin Forme5 - 54cm Road Bike with flat bars -- SOLD

Featured Replies

If you've heard of the Triban3-5 from Decathlon then this is the flat bar alterative, a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing.

 

I’ve used this bike for the last 18months (ish) and have owned it from new. I’ve used it for commuting to/from work and for weekend rides (including a 100mile charity ride).  The flat bars/deore shifters have barely been used as I converted it to drop bars which makes this great bike even better.

 

Between myself & Decathlon this bike has been maintained to a high standard.

 

The bike has just been serviced & had the following items replaced, Rear Wheel/Brake & Gear cables/Bottom Bracket.  The brake pads & chain were replaced approx 4months ago during its last service.

 

It’s never been in an accident & doesn’t have any dents/cracks, it does however have a few marks from use (pictured below)

 

I’m only selling it as I’ve bought a Cyclocross bike for commuting and as such this bike isn’t getting any use now

What height are you as I'm not sure a 54 is right for me? And where are you based?

I'm about 5'8" and I'm based 18miles north of Sheffield @ the end of Woodhead Pass

That's a little short for me so glws

Steve,

 

I'm around Friday (afternoon / evening), Saturday (early morning/late afternoon/evening) if you want to meet up and have a test fit.

 

It was perfect for me size wise but can be adjusted to suit someone slightly taller or shorter than me (I think we're around the same height from memory)
