The Boardman Road Team Carbon is dead. Long Live the Boardman SLR 8.9 carbon!
Quality modern-looking carbon frame and all-carbon fork, great commuter/sportive ride, tubeless-ready wheels
It’s Tiagra rather than 105, not quite as light as some aluminium bikes, lack of rack mounts and slightly high bottom gear
