Does anyone know around what month the 2013 Boardman range gets released ?

Looking to buy the Pro HT but don't really want to buy the 2011/2012 bike if the 13/14 is only a matter of months away.

Thanks in advance.

    Don't know any dates but judging by the changes Boardman made between the 2009 and 2011 bikes (pretty sure they have a two year cycle, pardon the pun!) you might be better off getting the 2011/12 model. They reduced the specs between the 2009 and 2011 and will probably do the same for the 2013 models.

    Oh bugger, now you've both left me with a quandary :?

    Buy now but have an old model bike within a few months or possibly wait for more Months than I initially had hoped and possibly have a lesser spec bike :?
  • Halfords/Boardman do actually seem to release their bike in the actual year they describe...

    ie: 2013 bikes will be release in 2013.
  • Update that I know of, There will be a new Road Bike for £500, and that it is red. :0)

    As new models will almost certain cost more and/or be specced less well I really wouldn't worry.

    In a years time you'll have an older bike anyway, I would buy on the the better spec not because it's the newer model.
