    Cant believe they sell more of that "outrage" than any other bike.

    Did they happen to give exact sales figures by any chance? I'd quite like to see just how many of each bike they sold.

    It's more surprising to me that there was actually a decent bike in there, rather another of the £100 specials.

    I could have bought a complete bike for a little more than I spent on a rear wheel :shock: Damn, should have gone to Halfords first :lol:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    If halfords does not have their C2W scheme, the Boardman won't even make it to the top 10.

    yep, for sure.

    its a complete pain in the a*s as no one on the independant C2W scheme can get a boardman! i want one! no independant shops can source them :(

    That's probably the only bad thing about Boardman bikes. The bikes are good but if you buy it from a dodgy Halfords it could be put together badly.

    Are you just trying to make yourself feel good about buying that Carrera? :wink:

    Nope just mocking people who buy Boardmans and think they are different to a decently specced carrera frame...

    Andy, would you say there's not much difference?

    I'd say the HT frames are rebadged Carrera frames

    which are made by the same company that makes the Rockhopper. Maybe.
