Decided to get another road bike ss part of a 2011 get fit campaign so got SWMBO to pick me up a Boardman Team Carbon for Christmas as they were down to £899 for a little while.
I've been using it on the turbo trainer but gave it a little spin today once I fitted some race guards I'd picked up in the sales. First impressions are that it's a hell of lot lighter and faster than the last race bike I had (a Giant OCR3T) - 17.5lbs on my scales, without pedals or accessories, and 20.8lb as pictured.
Looks like a nice bike esp for the money. :-)Just sort that saddle angle out 8O!
I set the saddle angle on the trainer and I think I must have the front wheel a little high (although it looks worse in that picture 'cause the front wheel is a bit lower in the snow than the back one). The saddle will be getting replaced with a nice light and comfy Ti railed Litespeed one I've already got anyway though!
Its your bike an all, but get that stem flipped!!

It came the other way round but the first thing I did was flip it to make it a tad more comfy.
