Only ever so slightly, though

I wasn't going to mention it. But, I would have felt responsible if you had gone for a ride, then fell off :shock: :oops:

I have a black one - great value for 1k! White bar tape looks good for one ride only! I put some SRAM stuff on mine

Not sure about the cable runs through the headtube, I can understand running the cable through the head tube as it should give a straighter run, but they then seem to step down? Looks like the holes in the headtube should be a bit lower, although it might then run into the lower headset bearing. Maybe you need to get the drill out and add some extra holes! I'm sure you could use some polyfilla to block up the existing ones

Still, nice looking bike, wasn't too sure about the white ones, but looks proper "Jack the Biscuit" to me...

i ll have to take a few more pics of it then over xmas. hopefully my new lens comes and maybe get a few better pics

all show no go

That's a great piece of kit you got there my friend. The white does look very very good. The only thing I would change is the brake hoods. Get yerself some white "Hudz" and your Boardman would look the DB's IMO.

you might want to swing the bars round a bit, cant be very safe riding like that. nice bike though.

Hi,

I also have one of these as my first road bike, picked it up 14th dec and it's leant up in my conservatory under a blanket, bloody weather and work mean i havn't been on it yet.
Mines number 344 and theres a few things i will be changing (purely down to my personal taste) .

New seat...looking at something like a spesh bg with cut out(from previous experience of numb man bits syndrom lol) which i got from 4 and half hrs in the saddle on my boardman hybrid i used to own.

New hoods and bar tape as i don't think they will stay clean no matter how much i clean it.

New tyres...purely as i don't like the look of the white ones lol.

mind you with how things are going it will still be brand new this time next year lol.

gotamintvtr

been out on it once and cnt wait to go again. i was just getting used to my pedals and shoes ect

How did you find the steering? Is the white bar tape still white?

amnesia

Very nice... just like mine

gotamintvtr

tape is still nice and white.

Just picked mine up last night, number 199. After seeing it in the flesh I'm deffo making some changes though! Tyres for a start then the brake hoods! Probably go for the standard black hoods! All personal preference though!
