I speak out of complete ignorance, but I wouldn't buy a carbon bike that is that cheap.

The reviews are good though

Was just looking at the boardman 9.8 carbon looks amazing at the price think I may have found my bike :-)

Why not? It'll be the same type of open mould frame used by lower cost providers, eg Planet X?

It's the same frameset as the bike you linked in another thread too just with different components?

Carbon bikes with Tiagra, 105 were often available for that a few years ago, even from the big brands!
Like with any carbon frame, just don't crash it

Had a few Vitus bikes over the years, not had much to complain about with them

No discs though? And no stock anywhere near Hull
Why so keen to have carbon? For commuting they are less practical for fitting proper mudguards and even a rack for all weather/carrying stuff

Vitus is Wiggle/ CRC "in house" brand, that is why they are cheap, they don;t have the marketing spend and corporate overheads that trek specialized giant etc have.

tbh at £1000 budget I just thought carbon would be better. And didn’t think about the mudguards so good point. As you can tell I’m inexperienced so please forgive my lack of knowledge :-(

Boardman 9.8 has mudguard mounts and hard to beat for value and discs aren't by any means essential on a road bike, again a sort of in house brand so good value.

That's why I probably will never buy a bike from Planet X either

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Had numerous Planet X based bicycles and no issues with those either, in fact I have two currently

For the same price level, generally speaking an aluminium bike will have better components than a carbon one.

My wife has an aluminium Zenium with Tiagra, she has no complaints and it is easy enough to work on and has given no real trouble. It is very good value for money.
