Assume that is the previous model with 26" wheel (as Halfords has gone to 650b wheels for all its Carrera/Boardman bikes) I think the equivilant is this http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/mountain-bikes/boardman-mountain-bike-comp-ht-650b-2014#tab2

From what I can see, thats a very decent bike. Im not a bike guru by no means but if I was closer I wouldn't of replied and baught it myself.

It seems abit of a steal.....pardon the pun

I am no guru either, but to me it looks like a good buy. I picked up a similar deal recently, a little bit of research I did they say the longer travel epicons are a bit flexy, but I presume that's only got the 100mm model on it.
