This one ? https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/touring-5 ... R-p-312723
That's it I think, but I thought that it had a similar spec to the 920. It's got the same frame and fork, and the dynamo hub though.

The initial chat was for three different models, only two are on their website. Maybe the middle one is just delayed...

I'm waiting... No idea when they'll have stock. I've emailed them but they won't tell me!

UPDATE: Phoned my local store who have confirmed that it will be an online only bike and that it's unlikely to be available to order for at least 4 weeks as there is currently no stock on its way to the UK (and it takes four weeks to get here evidently).

I think I need to be a bit more patient!
