Boardman confusion

[Phixion]

Looking at the Boardmans I'm kinda confused when it comes to the Boardman Performance Hybrid Race model.

halfords.com (Acera groupset)
Lightweight 7005 triple butted aluminium frame

boardmanbikes.com (UK version, Acera groupset)
Lightweight alloy double butted, full smooth welding

Sooo... which is it? Triple or double butted?

Id be more inclined to believe the Boardman website as Helfrauds are useless. The non UK spec seems to be a triple butted frame so maybe either Helfrauds are selling the non UK spec bike or there website is shite. Probably the latter tbh.

Any purchase from Halfords comes with at least a triple but.

The short description in the advert says "Triple butted alloy frame" if you open up the spec sheet it states its a "7005 Double Butted Alloy Frame"

Yes, I don't understand why the UK spec is double and the rest of the world is triple.

UK gets Acera groupset and the rest get SRAM X5.

Just tweet Boardman (@Chris_Boardman) on his account - he's usually pretty honest!
