i am still trying to decide which bike to go for - many thanks for the replies to my previous post - i have seen the above bike which is £699 reduced from £799 - which offers sram apex. this looks good value for money - does anyone have one of these and if so, are you happy with it and are the boardman frames any good? is sram apex any good? Thanks Hadley

Boardman have a good rep but can't comment on this model other than observe that it is described as a commuter/sportive bike so likely the geometry is not best suited for cut and dash racing
My only issue is with the sellers - Halfords. They are a car accessory store, not a bike store - the bike came "fully checked and ready for use" - unfortunately this included a loose headset and bottom bracket.
I would check the bike out yourself before using!
The specs were agreed to be very high for the money, but as this was my first bike since riding the Raleigh Olympus back in the early 1980s I don't have a comparison.
That said, I don't have any complaints, and would certainly buy a Boardman again.
