Although I ve not had it long (2 weeks) and not had a chance to put in some proper mileage, i have every confidence in this bike & boardman!! Looks AWESOME!! |

It is testament to the quality of the product that it sells so well, despite Halfords being involved. They really are a shambolic organisation. Other than the Boardman range, the only reason you could possibly find to go into Halfords would be to find a fake exhaust, pseudo-carbon filler cap for a souped-up 1993 Vauxhall Nova SRi, or range after range of uneccessary auto-cleaning produts. This is commensurate with the knowledge of most of the staff. do NOT take Halfords up on their offer of a free 6 week service. THey'll trash your bike. Get it down to your LBS, or do it yourself. (and relax...!) |

It was a shame that none of my local bike dealers did not offer this, anyway hope you enjoy your new bike. |
