TBH I'm wondering if I've jumped in a bit 2 footed all round. I read some good reviews of the Boardman a while back and have had my eye on one for a while but was intending to save up for a much better CX. Anyway, with winter coming and the bike available for just over £500 I thought I'd take the plunge, get myself a winter bike and CX in one fell swoop and divert my longer-term n+1 savings towards a carbon flier instead of a bells and whistles CX.
But the more I've read about the CX Team since pulling the trigger the more I find people having issues with the bottom bracket. I thought that was a 2012/13 thing but seems it's been a constant issue with them every year - can't believe such a big concern as Boardman/Halfords haven't got that sorted after weeks, never mind years!
So now I'm kind of bracing myself for some grinding noises and a trip back to the shop in a few weeks with it
