Your thoughts on this bike?
I've definitely decided on a hybrid, is this best on offer in the 400-600 mark from Halfords?
Has to be from Halfords I'm afraid as I have a whole heap of vouchers!
Am commuting 5-10 miles per day and occasionally a few weekend fitness blasts/cycling to gym.

Would love to hear from any owners.

  • A mate of mine owns one and he loves it.

    It is probably the best hybrid you can get for the price anywhere not just Halfords.

    The Carrera Gryphon is a decent bike and also from Halfords. There isn't alot to choose between them. If you're a brand snob the Boardman will carry more Kudos but will cost you more.
  • There is nothing wrong with Carrera's (I own a Vanquish) but the Boardman has better brakes, groupset, wheels, tyres and it has a better resale value so I think the Boardman has it on top trumps apart from the price.
  • Thanks for the responses guys.
  • Purchased and collected today!
    Lovely bike and looking forward to putting some miles on it.

    I'm new to bike maintenance, can anyone direct me to a decent YouTube channel?
    Any maintenance tips for a brand new bike? Bear in mind it was built at Halfords!!!!!
