Morning

For everyone who's been keen on a Boardman Team but unhappy at the £200 price jump to £1199 - I've just had an email from Halfords and it's now reduced to £999 again. Don't know how long it's on "special" for - but it is for the moment.

Hope that's helpful for some of you out there..... Happy shopping

    True - but it does put it back into the Cycle To Work zone again - restoring its "bargain" status perhaps that it had lost at £1199.

    I'm sure it's good news for some people anyway (maybe not Chris Boardman :cry: )

    If the £1600 model gets dropped to £1400 I'll get it

    If they make less of a margin, but shift more bikes due to it being on the C2W scheme it will make perfect sense to them. I'm just annoyed my so called green company hasnt signed up to the C2W plan...

    I imagine that's why they're doing it. I would have expected the price rise would have virtually stopped sales of this bike due to it no longer being CTW at £1199. It was Halfords biggest selling bike ... I think they sold 21,000 Boardmans (across the range) last year. So I expect volume is everything.
