    A bit touchy there Chris...

    Firstly, the review is saying that its not ideal for crits and bunch racing - the former may be true. Secondly, I may be wrong but I thought Hayles' Boardman had customised geometry. I'm probably wrong there...

    Anyway, nice bike, I'm sure it would do the job for me!

    Couldn't resist telling him to get on with his work. Hope I never meet him, that'll be embarrassing!

    Nice response from you - made me laugh:
    Chris, stop time wasting on the Internet and come up with more excellent & affordable bikes. :)

    Interesting that Chris himself only gives his own bike 3 'thumbs' up. Smart guy, he knows it deserves more.

    Nah, I think he was 'reviewing' the review.

    The review seemed okay not sure why he got so touche. Lots of compliments on the bike just disagreed over the use, but then most people looking to buy bikes in that price range are probably going to be going down the sportive route and they sold it in the review as a good bike for that.

    or did I completely misread it?

    but that would screw up his results with a wide screen laptop pearched on the bars.

    The online review of the Colnago C59 Italia was a shocker too
