Boardman Carbon Fi BB replacement

[Paul Walters]

My local Halfrauds has a Boardman Carbon Fi (20") bike for sale for spares or repair for £100. The bottom bracket is apparently knackered. According to the Boardman spec, the BB is a FSA PF30, but Halfrogs say they can't source a replacement....... surely they could get an alternative ? Does anyone know if this frame will accept an alternative BB ? Would it be worth throwing £100 at it, followed by another £100 for a new BB ? It's also missing a crank, but I reckon a BB and crankset shouldn't be more than a few hundred, and you'd get almost a grands worth of bike for £300?
Any thoughts ?

The wheels and tyres have got to be worth the asking price alone!

My thoughts exactly. SWMBO is looking for a road bike, and if it had been a 47cm frame, I'd be posting looking for that replacement BB !!

But even with a new frame, which you might need anyway,it's still a great deal.

If it's still there on Monday night, I might offer them £50 for it ??
