My Boardman Team CX out in the sun today

I saw one of these in Evans today and fell in love with it. How you finding it?

Well after 3 commutes and 100 miles I can tell you this.
It's surprisingly comfy for an Alu bike, especially compared to the Alu Spesh Sectuer I used to have. It's also quite nippy, get's up to speed quickly and is easy to throw about in traffic. The only downside is that I am getting a bit of buzz from the handlebars, strange for carbon forks. But nothing a little thicker bar tape wont solve. All in all, very happy with it, and the matt finish has grown on me.

I've been trying to justify a purchase but I just can't, it's too close in spec to the bike I have. Think I need to go steel or full carbon on my next bike... Or get something daft like a Brompton!

From this evenings ride

been my ride now for around 5 years

I think it's a nice finish to the bike but then again when I need to replace I might go with full red tape

I like the two tone. White for riding along and red for dishing out pain!

Finally got around to cutting the steerer tube on my peloton!

Added bottle cages, spa pedals, new wider bars, longer stem and trying a different saddle...frame and components are standard though!!

Cheers for the comment

The saddle is an 'SDG Circuit' and I find it very comfy indeed.. so much so I've got the' SDG Circuit Mountain' on my MTB

My MTB was stolen whilst stopping at my folks last weekend... from a concrete garage with a up and over door that has a security lock fitted (according to blurb). The clever pikey managed to open the door without causuing any sign of entry, and even made sure the door was locked afterwards.

So it's out with the old (stolen) 2008 Cube LTD Comp

and in with the new (purchase) 2011 Cube LTD Race

Picked it up today. It's in wonderful nick but needs a good service and a few £££'s spending on saddle, pedals grips etc etc

Feck about the garage door but if you know how they are easy to pop, when swmbo reversed the car into ours and bent it so bad i had to get the insurance company to send a locksmith he got it open in about 15 minutes tops ( bearing in mind it was bent and stuck solid) and then just cut the cables to keep it down till they fitted a new one
