I've got myself one of these bad boys, for the money you can't get better.

Only items to change are saddle and grips but other parts are good. Pretty light and fast with the Conti' tyres.

Only problem is there's plenty of bike snobbery about........so many turn there noses up !! mainly due to the "Halfrauds" image, if you do get one set it up yourself as Halfrauds have't got a clue !!

Just cos it got Chris Boardman on it doesn't make it any better than many 2009 spec bike,

given the choice between this and a dozen other bikes with the same spec....... i wouldnt choose this.

Why not go for this one........recon we got a Bike snob here, compare this to a dozen bikes with the same spec, and the boardman will prove to be good value.

I looked around for sges for a bike in the £600 mark, this is way better spec as in suspension etc etc than most bikes
