Boardman road bike comp

Hitting the scales at a very reasonable Some might prefer the more back-friendly position provided by a higher front end, but we found it perfectly comfortable. The Boardman may not have sensible additions like mounts for fitting mudguards or a rack, but it's a whole lot of fun — and, to us, that's what it's all about. The hourglass head tube is fairly short — mm on our large frame. Boardman spec a front mech and levers from the mid-level Tiagra groupset with a upgrade at the rear mech — great value on a bike of this price. Little gear indicators on the top are handy for riders with less experience, and you can get shims to adjust the levers inward if you struggle with reach. The Truvativ Elita chainset is a compact, giving you a lower range of gears than a traditional design, although the inner chainring is tooth rather than the more usual 34T.

The chap i bought it from unfortunately did not have the original paperwork with all the spec details etc and i cannot for the life of me find the full details. Obviously to make the switch i need to know what BB type etc the bike has etc etc. It would also be a nice to know in terms of exactly what is what. For the moment i'm sticking with the Shimano Kit but may well be changing out some of the finishing kit again for personal preference but wonder if anyone either who has one of these has a copy or can get a copy of the spec sheets etc or give me a run down of everything. When it comes to the upgrading to SRAM, i will likely end up going 10 speed at least perhaps 11 speed if i can afford to. What components could i swap out in stages and have everything else continue to work and what would need to be done as a bulk job. Ideally i would like to stagger the bulk of upgrades when i can due to the cost and then perform the final changeover shifters, rear mech, cassette, rear hub etc as one final blow.

This bike looks absolutely stunning. The finish is officially called 'fluid platinum', and combined with the rather cool decals, it is visually amazing. No matter how it rides, Boardman has one of the best-looking bikes at this price point.
