im gonna buy a boardman Pro Ht next year and was just wandering what you guys all think? they seem great value for money (ive only got £1000) its that of waiting for a secound hand carbon race bike really (which i might do if the right thing turns up Razz ) im gonna get the shop to build it and i think before it even goes out properly im gonna get my LBS to set it up and check EVEYRTHING! just to be on the safe side Very Happy and do you guys think that anytime soon boardman are gonna start doing carbon hardtails? and what do you guys think of your boardman HT pros's?

that would be awsome!!!
Thanks Guys/Girls :D

    Boardmans have been the spec to beat and I would be amazed if they didn't have a carbon frame in the 2011 range, after the success of their carbon road bikes.

    Don't expect these (if they do come out) to be as cheap as the 2010 Pro range.

    I have it on good authority that carbon mtbs are to be ranged for 2011, so your pretty much spot on.

    As for the current boardmans, very rarely hear anything bad about them, the mags all seem to like them, the quality of kit is fantastic for the money, nice and light, etc, etc.

    Everything has pretty much been said about these, if you dig deep enough on here you will find plenty of info on them.

    Probably the lower end of that scale. Wouldnt be surprised if they were kitted out in Shimano gear this year too, if the current carreras are anything to go by. With the exception of maybe the brakes and fork.

    Should sell like hot cakes as well, if they are as well priced as they are now anyway.
