Does anyone out there happen to have the full Geo of the Boardman Team FS 650b?
Looks like the range has eventually died in the hands of Halfords as they are no longer listed on the Boardman site and down to clearance sale on the Halfords site.
Im after a new bike and just want to compare diff aspects of whats being offered, to the bike I currently have. Its hard work using a tape measure with all the angles to take into consideration too.
Cheers all 🙂

Oowh new ones.... (not that i would buy another one after owning one) no specs of the old ones on there though.
one of the guys i ride with managed to pick one up a couple of weeks ago for £600 from one of the Halfords stores.
Yeah not surprising. They are advertised at 740 now i think. So with the various deals and ways of getting money off that's prob about right. God help him if anything goes wrong with any of those generic parts though. There seems to be one guy that Halfords deal with for any parts, and he basically never answers the phone.
Mine has been an absolute nightmare from the start of ownership. The last thing that has had to be replaced, was the whole frame! Its like triggers brush!
according to their website they dont do mtb's any more
I think they've split the brand into 2 ranges.
1) On the website - sold in LBS
2) Not on the site - sold through halfords - maybe they'll be a specific website built for this range at launch.
They did 2 ranges before, but all bikes were on the one site.
I have the Pro which is a fun bike to ride but beware :
Stupid mech hanger design means I have bent/broken 6 in a year.
Very fat seat stays mean my super manly calves rub against them, especially if I am wearing leg armour.
Maybe i haven't explained myself properly. I already own one, a Team FS 650b, but am unhappy with the feel of the bike. It feels too small, so am looking at poss a new bike. However as the Boardman site seems to have disappeared for the older bikes i no longer have the geometry to look at.
I was wanting to compare the Boardman to a bike I was looking yesterday (mailorder) to see how different the measurements are, to try and make sure i don't end up in the same situation.
Tape measure and inclinometer/spirit level app on your phone.
