My Dilema

[Mike V]

Hey guys I have a dilema. I could go for the Chris Boardman bike which retails at £649 but then I would have to get it checked by my local bike shop. So in total costing £700ish. So do I go for this or go straight for an Allez at £733?

The bikes in question:
Allez Specialized Sport 09

Chris Boardman Comp 09

try each of them, one may fit much better than the other...

Personally i'd go for the spesh.

Cannot deny, the Boardman bike is great VFM for sub 9 kg.

Both bikes have a good range of gearing. You shouldn't need to swap anything on either.

The Boardman bumf implies there are only 2 sizes, 21" and 22".


I would be on the 21" Boardman, but ask them to fit a 53/39 chainset.
