Do I change bike

[Johnym]

I would like people's opinion as I have had issues with my Cube Peloton Race on 3 occasions now in the 3 months ive owned the bike where it's had to go back to the supplier for repairs and also warranty replacement stem and wheels.

On return this time the saddle and bars have been damaged in transit.

The bike was bought from halfords on the C2W scheme and they have offered to replace the bike with:

I'm newish to cycling and like the Cube a lot but I'm loosing faith in its reliability. The offer to replace the saddle and bars is there also but I'm now not sure what to do.

Any advice is appreciated

I have the model down , the road comp and its a cracking bike and it impresses guys at my club as they think its carbon and for alloy bike its a good weight and very comfy, i can ride all day and i cant say i suffer with road buzz.
Wish i had gone for the model shown on C2W.

Have just noticed another post on here that the road team is down to 799 and mine is still priced at 999.

All the reviews on the bike seem to be very positive

Wish gone for the team TBH mind you the comp has apex groupset ( according to C+ about the same as 105 for weight and performance )which means that it comes with a 11-32 gearing so you can get up a cliff .All i would change on mine would be to get some lighter wheels although they are decent enough for the price point.

The only negatives I've ever heard about Boardman bikes is the fact that they're sold through Halfords. That isn't even a problem at a lot of the stores - the Boardman mechanics at my local Halfords are very good.
If you're in any doubt about the brand, check out the podium in the Olympic Triathlon this summer. Barring injury you'll see both (World champion) Ali and his brother Johnny Brownlee who both ride Boardmans.
