There are crap, mate's got a Comp. More trouble than the ex-girlfriend. I would go for the Dawes Discovery 601, £400 in Spa Cycles.

The problem me mate had with the Boardman Comp was the BB and complained too flimsly to ride in strong winds. I think the bike is a over priced piece of S***. Still it is a good looking bike, but never judge the parcel by it's wrapper.

I have the Discovery 201 and been a brill bike, a great work horse. I would go for the 601 next time.

That was Graham Orbree (the flying scotsman) but do agree with you that a top international cyclist like Boardman would not want to put his name to any old junk of a bike, I have not read any poor reviews of Boardman bikes in my cycle magazines.
