That guess is definitely close... have I already posted about it? Pretty scarily accurate if I haven't, but I'm looking at the disc version of that very bike.
That's a very personal thing, Jack. IMO, they are all good bikes and I've got a Sirrus in the garage so I might be a tad biased, but I'd happily get another Sirrus and I'd happily get that Boardman and I've a couple of Giants in the garage already so I'd happily get another of them...How do those bikes compare against the Boardman because I like the look of it.
Jack, have you thought about a drop bar bike? IMO more speed and more funThe aforementioned Sirrus is a great bike though, I think that or the Rapide would be my choice of a flat bar road bike. I like the disc brakes of the Boardman but its too white for me

Lovely looking bike and the disc brakes will be good during the winter if commuting in all weathers - nice spec for the money
How tall are you as they only have smallish sizes (48cm, 52cm), probably too small if over 5'6ish
Yip you are best to get the right size of bike and test before you buy.No I haven't looked at them really nearly bought a Carrera TDF off gumtree a while ago but it the size was too big.
Haven't ride one before really but they seem to hard to get going at a low gear?
Not sure if my back would like the positioning. I mean i'm open to look. Whats the difference between the road and CX?
what about this?

Speed is more or less down to who is riding it, not the bike, when bikes are so similar
You sound like you want the Boardman, good bike, 10% off with British cycling, job done![]()
Buy two very good locks, something like an ABUS granit and a Bordo, or a Kryptonite fahgettaboutitand a chain...and get good insurance - no more likely to be stolen than any other bike
Or get some rusty pub bike for £30, which you won't want to ride
Have you started to worry since opening the thread?
my LBS said that the merida is a better spec than the boardman and said boardman is just a halfords bike with just boardman written on it. That's not true is it?
