    No but I heard it will launch soon. I anticipate they will again be a great bit of kit value wise just interested in the colours and shape if they get tweaked.

    Don't worry about the 2011 models, my team carbon 2010 is the nuts! It is at that level it is a great bit fo kit, but still leaves the opportunity to improve it.

    Nope but it probably will not be released until April sometime...
  • I work for halfords and at the moment I don't know anything on prices or specs all I know is that the release date will at least be the second week of march onwards as they have had problems with the factory producing them has not be able to produce enough and they have not released the ones that they have already produced because halfords will want to release them all at once and there is still 2010 boardmans floating around in all stores still, so until they dry up there won't really be any new ones released. I did hear my store manager talking about the new comp possibly having sram apex on but again that was probably just his speculation but again I cannot confirm anything really other than the release date.

    Haha, true about the noir fact in his sig - busted!

    Maybe he's a disgruntled owner of a more expensive yet inferior equipped machine as he was too much of a snob to go with the boardman flow..

    Yep, having spent £5k on his Guido Tamagochi, complete with full Sora, he is fed up with being passed by them.

    All I care about is the Elite range that UHC are riding this year...

    EDIT: I read an interview with Chris Boardman the other day, he said they're hoping to get the range out to US retailers within the next few weeks so I'd imagine they'll be coming to the UK at a similar time...
