Boardman comp HT 650b

KevChallis

First of all, apologies if anybody is getting irritated by my topics, but I am trying to work out what's best for my cash

I was going to upgrade my current carrera vulcan, which is in need of some tlc!! The other option is a new bike, I know in this price range the voodoo Bizango gets big ratings, but the 29er to me felt huge when I rode a friends, so what are people's thoughts on the boardman

Then I will pass the Vulcan to the wife as we need a new bike for her anyway

Many thanks in advance

Hi Kev,
I'm having the same issue and I'm really struggling.
I've looked at the Bizango and a Cube Analog both 29ers and they both feel cumbersome and even the smallest frame feels big.
The Boardman 650 feels a lot better and the frame sizes are smaller.
I'm gonna try a couple of other 650's this week and will feedback to you .
Ta,
BigDell

Cheers mate, yeah I rode my mates 29er, and didn't like it, didn't get on with it, maybe with a little time I may learn to like it, but why should I, I want something that I feel comfortable on straight away
