This might not sound very helpful, but of those two the best one will be the one you like the best! If you can take a spin on them you might find you prefer one to the other, and if not just get the one you like the look of most!
That said, there are a few differences. The discs on the Boardman will be great for stopping, but IMO they also make the bike more attractive to thieves and will probably make it difficult to fit proper mudguards. If it's for sort of leisure or road riding rather than commuting then these things might not matter to you though- just depends what you want it for.0 -
alright lads (and lasses), just registered 5 mins ago as i'm after some advice on a decent road bike. started triathlon training around 3 month ago and love it, (too many football injuries). i've been training on a dawes giro 400. want to upgrade already to a carbon frame. want to spent approx £1000. the PLANET X sounds great.
any advice is welcome,
also its the pro carbon sl SRAM red one
cheers0 -

As the other reply says, see if you can compare the rides. I'd edge towards the Trek0 -

at the moment i'm just training myself. go out on bike twice a week and do about 20- 25 klm each time, as the triathlon i want to do first is the sprint distance one, (20klm bike ride). loving getting into cycling, but its driving me crazy searching EBAY, then checking feedback on net of each bike.
