Ok folks which one should i buy.

A Gaint TCR 1 road bike or a Boardman Road Team 2011. Both pretty much the same in frame and groupset, so come on give me your views.
Cheers Pablo

    Ok cheers were lookin for riders of the bikes for some feed back. I own a boardman mtb after changing from a gaint to it. So the jury is out boardman frame chips really easy on mtb :(

    I had a Boardman road bike. Great bike. Good value. You are right with the stone chips though - pepper effect on the underside of the down tube. Got me back into cycling though. Sold Boardman. Bought Trek Madone. Better bike (lighter and feels just better). No stone chips and over 4000 miles of riding.

    Go with what feels best to ride and as spec is similar there seems no advantage of one over the other.
    Trek Madone 5.9
    Kinesis Crosslight T4
