Which Road Bike - Advice Please

[Downward]

If you haven't already purchased the Cube, take a look at the new 2009 Boardman bikes :-

http://www.boardmanbikes.com/

The Boardman Team Carbon is absolutely stonking value for the dosh and looks fantastic.

Lots of nice kit on there from Ritchey and its SRAM Rival equipped.

I bought a Pinarello FP1 middle of last year and have found it to be a fantastic bike so far. I use it for training runs and also commute on it every week and its not missed a beat in doing either.

However, if the Boardman 2009 bikes had been around then, the Team Carbon would have got my vote and would have got my wallet open too.

For @£1000 I think it has to be one of THE best bikes in its price range if not THE best bike.

I disagree with the previous comments on not using a racing bike to commute on.

Why not?. Ride what you want, when you want and for whatever purpose you are happy with.

I have a clip on rear mudguard which keeps the worst of the spray off me and I carry a small daysack type bag on my back with a few essentials in it but keep all of my stuff at work in my locker.

I have not had any issues with my FP1 on my daily 36 mile commute. It's fast, reliable and comfortable despite being a "racing" bike.
