I know, I know, it's a Walmart bike.
I guess what I want to know is, are there any glaring deficiencies that I should be aware of? I'm 6'3" ~180lbs so I'm looking at the XL The Decathlon site puts the tires at 28.
TIA!
It's actually not a Walmart bike, it's an independent brand that sells bikes through Walmart. Almost pulled the trigger on a non-disc RC120 last month when Walmart had them on sale for $378. Ended up upgrading my old Trek road bike instead. Anyway, here's the thread for the non-disc RC120, if it helps any...
Is the Decathlon Triban RC120 an acceptable entry level road bike?
