I'm just considering purchasing the Chris Boardman Pro Carbon bike and wondered if any of you had any good/ bad things to say about this bike? I'm buying the bike to use for a non- stop JOGLE ride which I'll be completing in May 2011 and I just want to get the lightest fastest bike possible for a budget of around £1500. Obviously the bike also needs to be able to put up with some heavy mileage. I've been attracted to the CB bikes simply because it looks like you get the most bike for your money with this range. However, I wondered whether the quality of the bikes is of a good standard? If the quality is a bit dodgy then I'd prefer to look at bikes with a slightly lower spec for the same price if it meant the quality of the bike would be more reliable. All I've heard so far is that the standard saddle on the CB bikes is bloody uncomfortable and unfortunately you have to go through halfords to buy them - I'll put up with that though! Thanks for your help - I'd welcome suggestions on any bikes you think would be a better buy for around £1500. Rich Follow me at www.richardwestover.com |

It really is good value for money, and i can only assume the pro is a step up from there. i wouldn't hesitate to recomend it. I've not done a JOGLE on it, but i've done a few back to back 100 milers on it with no problems at all (when i say no problems, i mean no problems with the bike - i'm a wreck!) |
