    If you ran a website/magazine would you not give a bike a good review if the company in question gave you money for advertising?

    Boardman are decent enough bikes. But if you can afford it you get something a bit more exclusive like the Kharma, or maybe pinarello, Cervello .

    Boardman is a good value for money bike - I paid the extra and went for the wow factor of the kuota - but thats personal choice.

    ^^^^^ agree with this.

    Kuota or Boardman?

    Not even worth asking the question IMO - the Kuotas (Kharmas, Kebel, Kredos, Kom etc) are all stunning looking bikes and compared to the Boardman, on looks alone, are in a different league (they ride well too!)

    I'll take a closer look at the Kuota
