Sorry, could you please clarify what is VFM stands for?Boardman offer superb VFM
I recently bought an ADV8.9. It's too early to judge the quality of the components but nothing has broken yet and it's proper comfy to ride.
One minor gripe I have is that the front derailleur doesn't appear to have enough clearance to properly fit a full rear mudguard without some hacksaw work. (On the mudguard not the front derailleur).
Value for moneySorry, could you please clarify what is VFM stands for?
1cm difference from a sizing guideline (all it is) will make diddly difference. It just makes you borderline not all 177cm tall people are of the same dimensions!How is the frame quality? Stiff frame ? Also what size did u get and what is you height? I'm 176cm (5.9) with inseam 86cm (34), tried to sit on the Medium, felt pretty comfortable even though boardman sizing table for ADV 8.9 says that M size from 177cm
I haven't measured my height since my teen years but it was about 5'10''/5'11'' back then. I got a medium and it's fine - it doesn't feel like it's only just big/small enough. Your best bet is to go into a Halfords and try one just to be sure. If the 8.9 isn't available locally, the 8.6, 9.0 and 8.9E all have the same geometry apparently.How is the frame quality?

just replaced the BB on my team carbon after 4 years , shop said it had a little play but wasnt desperate to do , thats pretty good going in my book ,It is PF30 and has never creaked and its been rock solidOk, so most of the opinions is positive, which is great. I'm was looking at the "name" bikes like Cannodale, Fuji etc, but now thinking is it worth overpaying or not. Will definitely consider Boardman
Thanks!
