2010 Boardman HT Pro

johnsav

Was given this frame as payment for building a bike for a work mate, so decided to turn what is a lovely frame into a decent hardtail. My aim was to make a simple, clean looking bike with no fuss.

Pretty light bike in standard guise so id like to think its a wee bit lighter in this guise.

I've been used to a carbon hardtail for the last couple of years so this is a real change. I'm enjoying how communicative this frame is compared to flexi carbon.

very nice bike- I'd more than be happy myself if all my friends were paying me this way for building their bikes. good colouring also

Very nice i must say. Hope you enjoy washing your bike with a frame colour like that :P

As I said earlier... that looks bloody sweet now

If you want bling out of a crankset though John, Truvativ Noir is about as blingy as you can get (in red of course )

Went out in the muddy stuff today mate, the tyres are coping great but methinks a Neoguard or Bender Fender is due as I got a whole load of crud (for want of a better word) in my face and under my riding glasses

Btw, you've got PM on the way old chap

I do indeed, in a non perverse way

I agree with chrisjnr19, it will look really blingtastic in a good way
