Finally got the Boardman I'd been hovering over. Thrown together out of the box, not set up yet.

Yes, weeds etc, I'm at work 😉

Looks nice - I was tempted by one of these but the cable routing put me off to be honest. The colour looks good.

2x groupset - good choice, works well on a gravel bike.

Agreed.

Also agreed.

I was gutted when these were out of stock summer '20 like so many other bikes, when I needed a new bike, would happily have relegated my Cube Attain GTC to commuting duties... Instead I ended up with a Voodoo Marasa!

Trying to be good since you posted the £1500 sale price for these and £1600 for the 2*12 ADV 9.0 Road, enjoy.

Is HS2 being built at the end of your garden?

Looks great. Very much a fan of the subtle branding.

Your fence needs re galvanising.

Ready for the road. Almost. Thrown some bits from Halfords on - Cateye lights, bottle, saddle pack - and flat pedals until I get home and change them.

Bars, saddle and gears to be tweaked on the road. Going to explore some dull country lanes in Essex this evening 🤣

Cleaner hasn't been yet - and you want to see the rest of the site....

Not been for an actual ride yet, but got it home and been tinkering with the set up. Decided to try a deeply unfashionable stem flip. Thoughts?

Fitted my Topeak phone holder but it compromises the position of the light

Had a first spin up and down the road - first time I've ridden anything that isn't an MTB in over 30 years. It certainly zips along. Put 50psi in the tyres but will probably drop that to 40 when I go for a proper ride
