I’m a beginner looking to get fitter through cycling. Torn between the Riverside 500 and Triban RC120 from Decathlon. The RC120 costs about €160 more, so I’m mainly wondering if the upgrade is actually worth it. Gravel bikes seem cool but are too expensive for me right now, so I’m also wondering if the Triban’s potential for wider tires/light gravel is useful, or if I should ignore the gravel aspect for now and just get the more sensible Riverside.
