I think Tredz take cycle scheme and cycle 2 work, they stock Boardman bikes, although they only show them when they are in stock. I've got a CXR 8.9 which I also got a trade-in discount for when cycle republic were open. Brother in-law has recently got an ADV 8.9 which is really nicely specced for price.
It took about 6 weeks from order and the communication and service was 1st class. The bikes look completely different in the showroom than the website ( colours etc ) so I’d recommend booking a visit.
I did a lot of research and I’m really happy with my choice.
I have a carbon hard tail and a CX bike and it’s a different bike to both.
If I knew how to upload photos I’d add a few but the uploading process baffles me on here.
Hope that helps
Thanks for that. 6 weeks. Seems a long time, but that might be standard. I’ve never ordered a bike online.
Just to take this full circle, I had a couple of near misses at the back end of Feb with bikes being in stock then selling within a couple of days but then just as my C2W opened CRC had a dump of Ragley Trig's and I got the confirmation email this morning. Made up that I managed to get the bike I wanted at the current time 🙂
Anyway, for reference here are what I found of interest that's in stock:

BTW, both Cannondale's were £2/300 less a week ago!
Oh, and thanks for all the suggestions.
I was in the right place at the right time, with a contact at my local LBS and managed to get a Giant Revolt 0. Very happy.
I had a 2016 Specialized DSW Diverge that I liked but looking at the new ones you have to spend £1900 to get one with a half-decent spec which is a shame as the frame and fork are great. I guess the £1100 one could be something to build on if you could put up the 8 speed claris.
Yeah, looked at the Diverge as well but the spec is terrible for the money.
