Btwin Triban junior

http://www.btwincycle.com/EN/triban-junior-154069679/

The Btwin is produced by Decathlon and for the money (£199) looks great value. I have not seen any reviews to know how it rides though.

Weight looks to be 10.7kg
7 gears with handlebar stem shifters.
40 tooth single chainring, crank length length 152mm.
rear cassette 14 - 16 - 18 - 20 - 22 - 24 (I’ve heard this is actually a freehub and not a cassette)
24” wheel

Initial thoughts on the spec are:

* Handlebar stem shifters are not a great option
* Gear range is not ideal, as it feels a bit high. It also needs to have a lower gear than a 24.
* Weight is good
* Great value for the money

If anyone has one of these and can give a review please do so in the comments!
