These Boardmans are fantastic value for money. I've got the hybrid commuter (I call it the Tie Fighter) and it is a seriously stiff, well equipped, light road bike, with good SRAM/AVID/Truvativ gear all over it. I do about 20 miles a day on it and the only failure so far is the bottom bracket, which I've tightened twice but won't get away with tightening again and which, to be honest, I've come to expect with all new bikes. That seems to be where they cut costs; presumably because it's not visible. I'm also getting Hope for the replacement; it's the lifetime guarantee I like about them.
