I received a new Boardman SLR frame to replace previous frame which cracked.
The previous frame was also a replacement also for a cracked frame :?
I didn't want a replacement from that manufacturer so I was kindly upgraded to
this Boardman.
Absolutely delighted with the outcome.

    am i just imagining this...?!?

    If you open the image in a new tab (right click -> open image in new tab) the frame has green detailing.... but it's clearly yellow in the thumbnail (and was also yellow in the pic before you resized it)..

    how is this possible?

    is your bike black white and yellow? or black white and green?!?!

    Hi

    I have the SLR 9.4 (full factory spec'd bike). How do you find yours (its the same frame btw) compared to your Focus Cayo Team?

    hopefully a slightly bigger pic, also compared to Focus Cayo, lighter and stiffer.

    Nice - all the white should be replaced with black though!

    What a marvellously understated frame - no nonsense, British (like the Katsanis frames and the Dolans before them) goodness. I bet it rides like an absolute dream.

    the frame was designed in the uk, in uk wind tunnels by a uk cycling legend - it's of course manufactured in china/taiwan etc like the majority of other bikes.
