<span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">got a boardman ADV 8.9 for commuting and road/exploring duties. Really happy with it. Seems much more comfy position compared to my Boardman CX comp. that was a small but went medium this time. Hydraulic discs, Tiagra groupset and carbon fork with tubeless ready wheels and tyres. </span>

That worked. Cheers poopscoop!
Like the colour, better than the previous ones.
Nice.
I like that, the style of frame every other company is copying.
Aggressive, fast looking frame.
Me likes!
First ride in on it this morning. Very happy with my choice.
The good:
Flared handlebars and tiagra hydraulic hoods - very comfortable to hold/use. Seems much easier to reach/control etc than the sora on my previous bike.
The frame - very stable and confidence inspiring. Doesn't seem twitchy at fast speeds.
The tyres - Schwalbe G-One Speed - very good tyres - was worried despite the reviews that I read that they might be a bit slow. They seem very fast, absorb the bumps well and have loads of grip. I beat a Strava segment (over 2 miles) on the way in so they must be pretty fast (comparable to the previous ones).
Hydraulic dis brakes - Had cable disc brakes on my last bike and these are night and day in comparison. Better stopping power, better modulation etc
The bad
Rear mech - needs adjusting! Whoever set it up did a poor job. Will set it up again tonight. At the moment it doesn't go into the lowest gear. Luckily I don't actually need it on the commute so not a major issue and something I can rectify.
