to be fair to the br guys, this was their response to the thread which does clarify the comment a bit

User review of Boardman Team Carbon (12)
This review was part of a test in Cycling Plus, As is the nature of those some comparisons are made to the other bikes featured. When it has arrived on here – as the reviews are put up singularly some of the comparisons are lost or edited, the paragraph about the handling was as such –
“The handling all-round doesn’t have the out and out sharpness of the Cannondale Super Six (also in the test). It’s a ‘little’ less competent in fast direction changes and hustling through the tight stuff. But for an all rounder it’s difficult to beat. Especially at this price”
and
“Everything about the Team Carbon from the quality of the frame to the level of components, to its sheer ride ability would have us believe that this was a bike with a price tag of £1000 more than the modest £1599 it retails for”
So with the original review being edited I can see that the comment about handling could come across as a bigger criticism than it actually was. It’s something I’ll bring up with the online guys
