Boardman MX Sport

Thinking of getting a new hybrid bike like the look of the above.


Any views on boardman? and specific model.

    I'm no expert on the individual components, but broadly speaking and from a general/utility viewpoint:


    Good:
    No rear suspension
    Lockable front suspension
    Hydraulic disc brakes - truly excellent
    Massive gear range will demolish any hill you are likely to meet
    Proportions look good


    Bad:
    Aluminium frame gives a harsher ride than traditional steel (this is a personal thing of mine; others aren't bothered)
    Saddle looks like an implement of torture (can be easily changed)
    700c wheels - I prefer 26" for this kind of bike, but I am swimming against the tide here


    Overall, I like the look of it and it seems good for the price. If I were looking for a bike at the moment it would be high on my list.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.
