BinLaw looking to buy something modern and finding it hard to ignore the value of the Boardman range in comparison to some others. I can advise fairly knowingly about the spec, but never having ridden one struggle with recommending them above certain others he is looking at.
Trouble is, lots of his mates have (IMO) over-priced Speshes etc and are putting him off the idea of buying a Boardman.
Now, I totally get that Halfords has a variable reputation, so understand nervousness about buying from there, but as a fairly competant bike fiddler I am confident that I could set the bike up properly.
Does anyone have any horror stories about the brand from first hand experience?
(flip side is he should just buy the Rocky Mountain reduced £700 on CRC!)
