Out of interest, does anybody know why the 'team' would be better over the comp?

Also, would this bike take the abuse of 'mild' downhill? (I mean in the alps)

I struggle to understand the difference between the two bikes and the components.

Here is the team..http://www.thebikelist.co.uk/boardman/mtb-fs-team-2010/specs


Here is the comp http://www.thebikelist.co.uk/boardman/mtb-fs-comp-2010/specs

I can see a few differences, but do not know what it actually means in reality.

Thanks!! :D

    The bikes are separated by their component spec. Just about all the important kit on the Team is better than the Comp.

    The bits you will notice most are the fork and shock I'd say. If you have not got 1300 notes then it is an irrelevance anyway but the more expensive bike will have a nicer ride.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Ah ok! Thanks for pointing that out!

    Really confused on finding a bike which can handle a bit of downhill!

    All mountain bikes can handle "a bit of downhill". Whether they break as result of the said activity depends on how hard you ride it.

    The Boardmans are fast cross country bikes that will take a tree rooted downhill footpath in their stride.

    They are not alpine DH bikes.
