Triban Abyss RC100, Aluminum Road Bike

I really love this bike. The 32mm tyres give it a comfortable ride and they soak up road chatter and small deformities in the surface. I'm used to much lighter and aggressive racing bikes but i will reach for this bike when i just want to go on an easy shopping trip or recovery ride. I've had quite a few pinch punctures on sharper gravel forest trails but i've swapped out for some better and larger volume tyres. It has clearance for some old 35mm treaded tyres i had lying around and it looks like it could have clearance for wider but i haven't checked. The only thing i can complain about is that the gearing is not low enough to make it a really good gravel bike, but for inclines under 10% it is a great bike. I call it the Canal Cruiser as canal paths are its ideal home. :)

I bought this RC100 as my wife wanted a road bike to join me on the road. I wanted to order her the womens version of this but her size was sold out. I instead ordered her a size Medium RC100 and purchased a womans saddle to replace the one on this bike. I was apprehensive about the sizing but he has always prefered a larger size bike and the size Medium was perfect for her at 5ft 7inch. She is very happy with simple gearset as it is a single chainring on front to keep the gear changing simple for her. Only downside to this is that going uphills she cannot keep up with me as the RC 100 doesnt hve that smaller font chainring to fall back onto. All in all this is a very good ride bike for a beginner to cut their teeth on

I bought this product during lockdown as I wanted a road bike that didn't break the bank. I was surprised when I arrived for C&C and the bike was ready to cycle away which made all the differents with transport and set up. Having been on the bike I can confirm I made the right purchase. Frame is lightweight, brakes are sharp, handles no problem. Recommend to anyone who wants a road bike to buy this one!
