Hi all,

Everyones seen Boardmans before but this is my trusty steed that I've added a few personal touches and upgrades to over time.
Can you spot them?

    Easy: cables, saddle, sram red tdf yellow edition crakset, tyres.

    And you've added pedals, rear light?, bottle cage.

    Have I missed anything?

    Nice bike though... that crank set is awesome.

    Nice bike but I would have bought better wheels rather than that crankset.
    Norfolk, who nicked all the hills?

    You've upgraded the front quick-release to be on the wrong side? ;)

    Thanks! Well, after having posted the topic I thought I'd better go through what I had actually changed and to be honest I think apart from deraliers, shifters, hoods, wheels, frame, quick releases, BB ,seat post clamp and spacers, everything else is changed.

    Thanks! I've thought about wheels but I actually like the Ritchey wheels, they don't seem to get good press on here but they've done several thousand miles and i've not had to touch them and their still true and hubs great, Not the lightest and tried other wheels but i just like the way they roll. :) Thought I'd get the ltd. yellow crankset and brakes whilst they were available cos they suited the bike. Poser I know. but upgrades encourage me to ride it more!

    This is new to me, is there a right and a wrong side, I'm right handed and so makes sense to have the quick release on the right?

    It's a compact, so yes always top! :D
