Boardman,Cube or Moser

Get Carbon frame.......nice and stiff

If it's manufacturers are any good, if not it's just cheap hard plastic.

Hi @rickbourne

I think that correct sizing is far more important than a few hundred grammes lower weight.

If your bike doesn't fit you properly it might cause you some aches & pains or even injury & you then won't ride your bike so much.

As I said, I have a very nice & light carbon bike but it won't stop me adding a Cube Peloton Race soon.

Carbon is nice, if you get the good stuff.

I am sure the Boardman would be great too & it's well worth the money & upgrading in future, just a bit dull looking imo, but then I am a bit too loud myself.

Let us all know how you get on, new bike time is always exciting.

Worth looking at apart from the cube peloton race is the giant defy 1 it won best £1000 bike last year so it's no slouch I tried both and preferred the cube

I do like the look of Cubes, everybody rides Giant's.........

And Specialized, and Trek...and quite a lot of Boardmans (probably on C2W)

One thing I noticed was that to get a specialized/trek etc on the same spec you need to spend £600/£800 more than a cube

Only the Elite ride Boardman

I went into the new Specialized shop in Bristol today, lovely bikes, well some of them.
Way overpriced I think.

I like my Focus Cayo Evo5 Least I think that is what it is called.

I looked at the Focus Cayo & Izalco recently & was very impressed, lovely looking bikes & might be one for the future (too many gorgeous bikes out there) but for now it's the Cube on C2W.

Based on advice go Cube.....

+1 for the Giant Defy 1, if you need more options this is a very good one, worth a trial.

Canyon ,rose, ribble or PX if you want bang for your buck

The big brands , Spesh, Cannondale ,Giant seem to be in competition for the putting the worst wheels on their bikes
FWIW Cannondale are winning

Well, I have been to the LBS and had a look at the Giant defy 1( I know this bike wasn't an original choice of mine) and the Cube peloton race, and decided to get the cube, as was recommended by the salesman, due to the fact of the good spec of wheels, and the shimano 105 groupset.
Plus the fact when I saw her, it just felt right
I am getting this via the cycle to work scheme and have requested the certificate online.
Has anyone any idea how long this takes to be sent out?
