Boardman Team Carbon

The Boardman Team has probably introduced more riders to the joys of a carbon road bike than any other and it’s still a fine bike with a high-quality Toray carbon frame and tapered carbon fork. Boardman has persisted with 31.6mm seatposts where others have since slimmed down for extra rear-end comfort, and we wouldn’t be surprised toseethatchangewhentheTeamgets its next refresh. But as we go to press you can get this for £800, which represents stunning value. And unlike an internet purchase this has the advantage of a free service six weeks down the line, adding further to its appeal.
