    Not difficult to determine current new price - £499 - but that would be reduced if you chose one of Halfrauds regular discounting pushes.

    No indication from seller how old the bike is - could be up to 3 years old. Addition of hydraulic disc brakes is a benefit but personally I would be looking at nearer the £200 mark for a 2nd hand example

    Thats the previous model, so probably at least 2 years old.

    Something odd there though, because those arent the Boardman forks on it - has it been crashed perhaps? Or did they replace the original aluminium ones with carbon ones? Strange that they dont mention it...
