    +1 . It's the bike I settled for (Boardman HT Comp). When reviews say it's excellent value at the original £700 it's even harder to knock at £560! Used it twice a week since the start of the year in ridiculous mud and it's not put a foot wrong. It's worth noting that the forks photographed on the Halfords website show Toras which is wrong. It comes with air Recons (as the spec confirms).
    Current bikes:
    Norco Sight 3 SE (on order)
    Specialized Allez 2010

    Old bikes:
    Commencal META 55 custom build (Stolen :( )
    Boardman HT Comp 2010
    GT Avalance 1.0 2006(ish)
  • Also look at the Cube Analog Disc 2011. Well specced and looks the dogs.
