5 years difference? Boardman Team Carbon

I have a 2009 and a 2014 Boardman Team Carbon - one has to go

I love the 2009 bike...over time I have upgraded most of it...but love the way it feels. I also have a 2014 bike...stock - nice, but not really used enough for me to form an opinion. Would frame design moved on in those 5 years? If so it may be worth my while transferring the upgrades and returning the old bike to stock for sale

Thoughts welcome

    2014 will sell for more... 2009 will sell for peanuts they are probably as good as each other

    You love one, the other is "meh" (and would sell for more). You know the answer.

    I sold my 2009 a few months ago and am still in mourning. Loved that bike.

    2009 is GXP and 2014 PF30
    June 2014 Chris Boardman sells the company to Halfords

    You know which one to keep....

    What does the sale of the company have anything to do with the price of fish?

    Everyone slagged aboard an bikes off because Halfords sold them from day one although they were brilliant bikes at fantastic prices.

    Halfords don't make them mate, the just sell them. And Halfords are no better or worse than anyone else out there.

    Keep the earlier one, sell the later one as you like the earlier one more. Simples, innit.

    It was a tongue in cheek comment as I'm not someone who slagged the bikes off. Having said that, brilliant bike, very ropey service from the bike only store in Putney at the time.

    Halfords do "make them" in an as much as Trek make Trek etc etc.
