    With the Boardman at least you can feel, squeeze, sit on before buying.

    Cooldad is right about testing, but given the choice of SRAM/suntour vs. shimano/rockshox, I know I'd take the radon. And yes IMHO the extra money is well spent on the 7.0. Worthy upgrades worth alot more than the £100 or so difference.

    i'd say the 6.0 is worth a lot more than its price with reba fork and mix of deore and xt too, nothing wrong with the boardman though, and like cooldad says, you can sit on it

    Purely spec alone. Which is best between the boardman and the Team 6.0?

    Thanks
