Nice couple of bikes there, the Boardman looks funky.

Are they set exactly the same ? Saddle on the Boardman sitting differently its rails, but geometry may be different enough.

Both look good - like the wheels on the Felt.

If not, some serious knee ache will be occurring

Both bikes are set up exactly the same. I have the nose pointing down as I spend most of my riding climbing the mountains of South Wales (on the drops) and with the saddle level I get numbness in the "tenders".

That Boardman looks great - I want one! (but will probably have to settle for the CXR9.0 as the next winter bike).

How's he front shifting? Even with Di2 34 to 52 must be a big gap to jump? Looks good btw!

The shifting is spot on. I guess thats due to the DI2?

The reason for the 34 instead of the 36 is I don't have the leg strength to climb 15%+ climbs (of which there are many in South Wales) on a 36.

Its never dropped the chain once, but I have put a chain catcher on just in case.
