Just got my new frameset today - looking forward to lavishing it with 'Red' goodness!

Really pleased with the quality - super light as well!

    Lovely frame - I really like the Boardman Airs - the bike got a really good review recently coming in first over Litespeed and Scott.

    I would like the tour edition but slightly hard to find, trying to build it on a budget (so second hand red from flebay).

    And have cosmic carbones ready to go on :D

    Yellow Tour edition was available from Bike Chain but cost a small fortune for a very small difference, would look nice though. Seen a guy with a really nice black and yellow Trek built with it and it looks proper smart. Frame looks ace btw.

    Thats a nice frame!

    Any chance of weighing it and the forks? :roll:

    The weight is listed on the website as 1150 grams for the frame (not sure if that includes forks and seatpost though).

    I'll weigh it properly when i unbox it again :)

    It would be nice if it weighs similar to the claimed weight but too many frames weigh far from what they claim as they weigh the smallest frame unpainted with nothing on them...

    It's a lovely looking frame and for sure is going to be an awesome bike but I just can't get on with the MASSHOOF boardman logos.

    I'm looking forward to seeing this one, J!

    We see a lot of Boardmans, but not many AiRs. It's always nice out riding when you pass - or are passed by - someone on something rare or not so ubiquitous.

    Well if its the bike that's linked to in this thread http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40042&t=12817201 then it looks absolutely awesome, and surely your grin would be seen far beyond Cornwall when you ride it, or not if you're selling it. Madness!
