I own a boardman race and can tell you that there is nothing wrong with the tektro brakes, it is just the pads that are pants, so a fairly cheap upgrade. The mavic cxp22 wheels are a liitle heavy, but they are bombproof, still use them now in winter. There is nothing wrong with the saffron tyres either, not a single puncture in many a mile.
if you'll note i did not say there was anything ''wrong'' with any kit
all i said was
''but for £600 i reckon you have a wider field''
