Ordered one of these online thinking that there is no way the branch offering it as available would actually have one...they just called to ask me when I could collect it! It's ex display but in good condition

Online price, £540...less 10% BC membership...£16 Quidco and £100 free accessories! And as London BC member I'll get a free Bronze service

I don't need it but would be rude to refuse at that price

Better move the large empty box from a prior purchase out of the shed as the Asgard is full!

That looks a right bargain

Not that much of a bargain doesn't come with pedals Not that I'm jealous of course!

I'm sure the £100 free accessories will cover those

Although @wonderloaf apparently it does come with some sort of pedal

I normally use m520s but might try the Boardman alikes for brand coordination

The black tape will have to go of course too!

Mate of mine has the same model and year.

He did have the bottom bracket conk out after a week, but no problems since then.

It's now his main bike and he's done plenty of miles on it.

Lol like the flat base on the down tube intrigued to see what bar tape you use to compliment the mirror frame set.

Maybe @jefmcg fave, red glossy fizik

Or I do have some spare Apex red hoods...could use those and stick with black tape...or silver?

Nice one Vickster.

For those who moan about the price of bikes today compared to some mythical age in the past where they were practically giving them away, decent quality machines are now available at a price that is cheaper than ever in real terms.

 

[vickster]

Indeed. I just hope that the friend who is taking the PX flatbar off me, actually does, or I'll have to try fleabay again! It's space more than funds...it's currently in her garage

Has to be red of black quite a unique finish that frame don't think silver would suit it but with the price you paid for it you could change the bar tape often enough to decide !

 

[vickster]

I think I might do the hood swap in the short term

I could use the free accessory cash for tape of course!

Next quandary bottle cages

 

[mark st1]

Cages are your problem (your to anti black for nice bottle cages ) but bottle has to be one of these...

Fantastic price !

On a side note i see that halfords are now showing geometry tables for boardman and 13 bikes , should make it easier to buy .
