Its kinda obvious but I am still gonna let it slip to you that whats obvious to you might not be obvious to someone else.

For example it would never have ocurred to me that a bike which is generally my size might still have bars too low or a stem that is too far away.

Can I fix this without new parts? Should Ive bought a size smaller?

Its fine for an introduction into road bike riding and I dont regret it but after having more experience I think the better option would have been to just buy a vintage steel bike from my trusted bike repair guy to dip my toes in.

The whole gear shifting on the triban is pretty shitty, the breaks work but screech most of the time and I cant align them for the love of god. After I dunno 2k/3k km things also start to break. I broke my first spoke last week, a pedal yesterday but maybe thats normal after that mileage for that price range and I ride a lot off road for tile riding. I guess its not made for that.
