    All depends on the rider, the quality of the roads, is it flat or hilly? But either way, the bike will be fine, it all depends on who is sat on it.

    Utter rubbish, go buy from another shop.

    Had a bad boy disc a couple of years back - biggest regret i had when i sold it. i have had a quite few bikes and this was in my top 3. Great frame, smooth ride.

    Bad Boys are great bikes. I've had my R6 for over year and commuted through central London every day on it. It really is perfect for urban riding. Longest I've done on it is about 15 miles. For distances longer than that and out on the open road a road bike will be better but for urban riding you won't get better than the BadBoy.

    It's not a "proper" road bike, but it's fine for a 100k if the notion takes you. Get some nice 25mm tyres when the Kojaks wear out, maybe a slightly firmer saddle, a pair of clipless pedals and you're golden. No harm in having disc brakes either.
