My first road bike.
I got a Boardman Hybrid Comp this time last year on the Cycle 2 Work scheme. It was the first bike I'd ridden since I was about 14 (I'm 42) and I didn't know if I'd even take to cycling. As it happened I loved it and have covered about 3,000 miles this year.
The Cycle 2 work scheme started up again this week and I thought it was time for an upgrade so went for another Boardman as I had been so pleased with the first one.
I can't believe how much lighter the road bike is. I'd say about 2kg difference. All I need now is for the snow we currently have in Sheffield to vanish so I can actually ride the thing. :-)

Nice bike, I really like the boardman's. Did they give you that stand with it aswell?0
-
No I had to buy the stand but my cycle 2 work scheme voucher was for £999 but the bike was on offer at £899 when I went to buy it so I had £100 to spend which got me the stand along with some other bits.0

Such as a plastic bag to cover the seat and some cellotape to keep the bar tape clean!Road - http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=12777154&p=16943702#p16943702

Lovely looking bike mate, I'm new to biking myself and I'm in Kilnhurst near Rotherham if you fancy going out for a ride any time? Plenty of hills round here for a challenge!0

Might want to sort the angle of your bars out a bit, look far too dropped.
Cracking bike for the money though0
