For all those that have helped me reach my decision about which bike to purchase, I have decided to go for the Boardman Hardtail, I think it offers the best balance of great spec and price, which in the end is what i was looking for, thanks for all the other options that i had recommended (Voodoo Wanga, Merlin Malt 1, Genesis Core 20, etc), I think seeing this picture made my mind up,(eradicated any fears that the bike doesnt look so good) 😀

Looks good to me. Should have a lot of fun on that.

I should hope so 🙂

Nice one. Great frames and excellent value. Enjoy!

but is’s got gears, is not made of Ti or carbon and it has no niche factor what were you thinking off 🙄

looks brilliant.

Junkyard, i’m sorry but some people are on a budget and cannot spend lavishly on mountain bikes etc, although I would like to have a go at building up a carbon hardtail in the future- On One 456 Carbon Frame, ive seen some great bikes built from that base and id like to have a shot myself. Not now though; gotta scrape some money together after this purchase 😛

Nice prison-yard backdrop.

epic fail alert: TYRE AND RIM LOGOS NOT LINED UP, YOU WILL BURN IN HELL 😀

no wacky bars?

I think Junkyard was being sarcastic – you’ll not be able to join the STW niche-bike brigade with that….no bad thing.

hehe 🙂 I hope to replace the rims soon anyway, i’ll align them then, so maybe that will avert an eternity in the unquenchable flames of hell 😕

good on yer – leave it exactly as it is, and ragg the arse off it 🙂

I am sorry, it appears i do not have the knack for detecting sarcasm that you do 😀 i understand it now 😛
