Aren't they like £8k?

Unless you are pro you don't need an £8k bike!

Good.

Shimano 105 for £800 is good going.

A Boardman I take it?

Yeah Ben!

When do the next range usually come out? Is it summer, or is it end of the year. Need to get one by the weekend ideally.

Halfords link with £200 off, wouldn't have to pay VAT either, so makes it even better. So will be around £650

Usually Sept/October time I think?

Heard good things about Boardmans.

Buy it still boxed though and get you local bike shop to built it. NOT the Halfords monkey's

Theres always great deals on practically brand new bikes tbh. People buy them, ride them once and sell.

If you know and can find your size its a no brainer.

I can see why you think its a lot of money for a bike but the difference is, Ben, I use my bike a lot

There is also a high chance ill be cycling the length of France next year and riding up Mont Ventoux so want something top notch.

It's a lovely bike to ride, I just never get to ride it. The problem with the sessions at the velodrome is they're all at stupid hours during the day or early in the morning which there is no way I can get to. I went to a club session and it scared the life out of me Haven't ridden track since! I'm debating going to the monday evening beginners session just to get back on the track for a bit.
I've got to this strange point where I just don't enjoy riding and have no motivation to just get on even my road bike and go

It is, need to lose 3 stone and get myself a beach body for June I just can't motivate myself, managed to go to the gym once last week, did some treadmill and a few miles on the bike but that was it. Just feel by the time I've got home from work I haven't the energy to jump on the bike or anything.

Almost bought one of these before I got the Synapse.. Lovely looking bikes. The grey colour on the frame looks cracking with all the yellow accents. 105 and BB30 too which, for £800, is awesome.

Boardman bikes seem to represent fantastic value for money! Starting to see more and more on the road.

They are good for the price you pay, I've seen a few riders on them round here. Just a shame the dealer is halfrauds!
