Whilst your watching the TdF….I’d like to draw upon the collective wisdom of the forum for ideas and advice.

Looking at

Boardman HT Team (halfords)
– not sure about 120mm forks as I’d be looking at the small frame and the longer fork will hoist the front up a little higher than I want.
– the 2 x 10spd looks good but is it really worth the it?

Sunn Prim S2 (chainreaction)
– sub 12kg weight
– perhaps better spec. than the Boardman
– but 9 speed triple.

Are there any other bikes I should consider?

you can space the rockshox fork down to 100mm i think. Boardman if it was my money
