Any small (5'2) women out there got a Boardman bike?
Hi - I'm trying to get a new bike (or poss 2 - one road and one MTB) on the CTW scheme, so I've been looking at some of the Boardman bikes. The MTBs seem to get pretty good reviews on here - the only problem is I'm 5'2 and I think the small frame may be too big for me. Does anyone else out there have a Boardman bike who also suffers from being sllightly vertically challenged?! They never have any smalls in the shop for me to try, and I can pay £50 for them to order it in, but don't want to go to the hassle of that if it's just going to be way too big anyway!

They should get one in for you to try FOC. Ring the head office.0

I'm even more vertically challenged by being only 5.1" and i had the same problem, the best is when you're at a shop and you ask to try the small bike and they say they only have the medium/large "but is the same as the small so try that one" :shock: . They are no help what soever :x .
So i ended up emailing the brand asking how i can test one of their bikes and they were a great help, they hooked me up with a dealer near me and i could borrow the bike for the weekend and i ended up buying it.
so i suggested to email boardman bikes directly.
Good luckCheeky, Cheeky0 -
