Boardman 9.8 SLR - 6.40kgs large!

So I built up an EBAY ex UHC team Boardman SLR frame for riding round Mallorca as Ive got bored of my last bike..







Boardman SLR 9.8 frame & fork
SRAM FRed Groupset with 2012 Sram Exogram Compact Chain Set
Look KeoMax2 pedals
KCNC K7. KMC Chain
Planet X brakes, AIcan Bungarus Cables
Rose Stem, Seatpost (carbon) and Bar tape
3T Ergosum Pro Bars
Soul 3.0 SL wheels
Tune Skewers
Pro Race 3 tires, cant remember tubes
Odd colour hood will be changed one the bikeshop has one. I cant give a ride report yet as it turns out the front brake retaining nut needs to be longer than on my old bikes fork

Looks pretty sweet, got a soft spot for Boardman's. Not usually a fan of black, but works really well here!

Many thanks - just one 50km ride and too many cassette skipping problems to know much, but it seems a great ride - I agree about too much black, but IMHO its the "black on black" super stealthy bikes which have been done to death, I like the blue/white detailing in the fork and rear triangle insides for example.

Mind you, the RD cable exit, above the seatstay, is a design flaw, I had to put a ziptie to stop the cable outer rubbing on the chain (unless Ive installed it wrong?)
