Wiggle are the distributer in Europe but they have no stock nor is there any indication when they may get some back so any idea where I can get one?

Give Halfords a ring? You'll probably have to talk directly to Customer Services as there are no international options on the website.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow I suppose. Just a pain in the arse that none of the other European resellers bring in the cheaper bikes, just the Elite framesets

I have a 54" CX team that I bought dec 2013 , I've ridden it one the roads twice and canal twice. I am looking for around £650. Its in great condition as you would expect for so few rides.

We have some good postage rates from my work as export lots direct to the consumer through Europe, I might be able to box up and post for around £30. If you are interested let me know your location and i will look into it further .

Its advertised on here with one basic photo, I can send others if you like.

How tall are you? Also did the 2013 have the full carbon fork?

Ive got the 13 spec bike and yes full carbon fork. I could be wrong but the 13 is better spec than the 14?

I think it looks better for sure

Yes it's the 2013 sometimes a bit confusing with Boardman because they keep the same model for two years.

The fork is carbon, it's lighter than the 2014 model and got better reviews. The wheels may be slightly better and the front mech for what it matters.

I bought the 2013 model by choice even though the 2014 was available at the time, December 2013.

I have or had 3 other bikes at the time so it's only been out 4 times hence the sale.

I'm just short of 5ft 10 and would say the bike probably right for somebody 5ft 8 to 11. I've a 54" Scott road bike and this feels slightly longer and taller.

A bit too small for me then as I'm a couple of inches taller. I ride a 54 Synapse which according to the LBS "can't possibly fit" but it does as it has a long stem but I rode that before buying which I can't really do here (unless you're driving to the alps and want to bring it to Luxembourg so I can test it... I'll buy you a bit of lunch, can't say fairer than that 😀 )

That sounds like a good plan, I can try to justify a MTB trip to the alps selling the bike to pay towards it, eerrrm I wonder if the Mrs will fall for that one.

Thanks for looking anyway. There must be some good bikes more easily available to you from the German brands, Canyon, Rose which you should get better after sales support on.
