I tested out the Boardman today at Halfords. I was impressed. The spec is amazing. Lovely ride.
I have tested about 8/9 bikes now I would say the Boardman is my 2nd favourite after the Marin Nail Trail on Sub £1000 bikes0 -
I've just picked up a 09 Boardman Pro on my Company Cycle2Work scheme. Again top marks to Matt @ Halfords Brislington Bristol.
I was very impressed with the spec of the 09 Pro. The 08 Pro got a 10/10 from one of the mags, MBR maybe? I also like the colour - white, some will some won't. I already own a Team Carbon Boardman road bike, which I am extremely happy with. The MTB Pro is very very good. It just feels right. Well finished frame, Sram gearing is excellent, I'm used to XT and would say so far my preference would be Sram. Avid brakes are top quality, again superior to the XT's I've been using for a few years now. Ritchey bits are good quality and resonably light. Wheel set is good, sealed cartridge hubs are a nice touch. Even the Ti railed seat is comfortable! I've pimped mine a bit with white mag MG1 platform pedals and some ODI LS 'Peaty' white lock on grips.
I highly recommend this bike0 -
I got an 09, find myself taking it out for a blast more than my full sus.0
