Lots of Boardman versus ????? threads.

Maybe Mod Lumen can magically pull all those threads together?

The sun is shining. Expect more of this

What's the groupset on the Ridley? I have one with 105 and I can't fault it. Frame cracked at the rear dropout but Ridley replaced it under warranty with no quibbles. The replacement frame had slightly different rear drop outs so I presume they redesigned them. My only prob with it is you can only get 23mm tyres on it, which is a pity cos I use mine as a winter bike and would like the option of slightly bigger tyres.

Just buy the godam Boardman.:)

Honestly though the Boardman is getting rave reviews for the kit you get at this price point. The handling is excellent plus its a carbon versus alu. No contest really!

I wonder if the Boardman will challenge the mighty Planet X this year???
