That's lovely. What are those rear lights? and which branch of Halfords did you get it from?

 

[fossyant]

Rear lights are an RSP Astrum (the one with two lenses) and a Magicshine rear (these are awesome, so good, I bought two).

Looks a cracker for commuting. Discs so your rims don't wear away

 

[Simba]

Nice bike but, I just can't get my head around the look of disc brakes on a bike like that.

 

[dan_bo]

Wikid bike. Ditch the lights and go racing!

 

[gaz]

v.nice.

 

[Evil Rabbit]

Nice. I have one too. I am interested to hear how you get on with the tyres; I have Schwalbe Marathon Extreme Evos on mine.

 

[tincaman]

Everybody who has seen it so far have all been VERY positive, they love the idea of disks on effectively a beefed up road bike.
Bought online, picked up from Halfords Newton Abbot, Devon

I like that, sort of like my tricross but with brakes that work!


Is it possible to fit a front mud guard with that caliper there?

 

[gaz]

Ahhh, they put the rear disk calliper in the right place!

Do you mean in the right place so mudguards fit OK?

Yes I must check that today before guards are ordered, will report back later

I have to say that I was sceptical when Halfords first started doing the Boardman line, but they seem to be really good looking bikes, and as Gaz indicates, they seem to be put together without the obvious mistakes that some other similarly-priced companies make. Very well thought-out all round.

yes, mudguards and panier rack. Although i don't know if that boardman can take one.
