I’ve got my eye on the Boardman carbon for ladies, maybe for next spring/summer. Seems to be very reasonable price. How do you feel about the Boardman? Happy with it?
Yeah it’s a great frame. SRAM kit is good. The only thing I changed were the wheels – but that’s a personal preference. If you do get one, be aware that Halfords can be shocking so check its set up right
If I got a new bike, I’d be straight round to @cyclephils for a cycle fitting!
Maybe I’d stop off at Evans/LBS to make sure it was put together correctly. I heard that about Halfords too.
Who’s cyclephil?
Ooops I meant @roadphil
My friends have Boardmans and recommend them. Agree though about Halfords- shocking customer service and shocking safety on the bikes they put together. Worth it to get a Boardmans bike though, just won’t buy anything else from them. Also like the Focus Cayo.
