Bikes weren't cheap, and had crap parts to boot. Wouldn't reccommend.

Decathlon bikes are actually a bit of a bargain in line with what bikes and bike parts are costing today from bike shops. Also they have inventory which many places still struggle with during and post-covid.
Road bike with carbon fork and Sora drive train/disc brakes - gravel friendly fork and frame for $1000 is under what you would pay for other brands.
Decathlon lives with Sportchek and Sporting Life in Southcenter so it does seem to work. They serve slightly different segments. Sportchek does serve the lower end but with branded products. Mountain Warehousebwill be the one that will suffer the most I think.
Sad to see TRU go.
