Any idea when? Seem to recall they have bank holiday sales?
Got my eye on the new boardman Cx bike, it's a bit steep at £1k but thought if they have a sale could be a bit of a bargain, too early in the year or is it just the August bank holiday they have a sale?
They do seem to be almost monthly and bankholidays alternatively if you cant wait join british cycling for 10% discount. Or still wait and double discount it. I got the 1k cx for 900 and its a steal.
Looks a great bike, had a spin round the car park, just being tight...
Went to my local halfords to have a look at this bike ,but only interested in shifting last years model for a discount.
Asked if they had intention of building one up for a viewing/test and told no ,unless we have a sale.
So i walked away ,will try other stores when i'm out n about .
Sign up for their new letter, they were doing pretty regular online sales, not that long back
BC discount is worthwhile thinking about too.
Yep signed up for BC as a couple of extra's on there could be handy for when I commute, will still wait for a sale, even if is the summer bank holiday it will be worth the wait.
Was going to add I'm lucky as have 3 Halfords locally and they all have the new boardmans built up, but saying that I don't have any proper bike shops except one which is always busy busy.
I looked at the Halfords CX bikes, the only thing that put me off was the press fit bottom bracket.
Ended up with a Planet X offering.

As above- newsletter and you'll get emailed about the 2hr 'flash' sales and other promos, and bank holidays you can pretty much guarantee a sale. BC code works on sale items- I got a Voodoo fat bike during a 10% off Voodoo sale and used me BC on it so got a 500 quid bike for £405.
You can stack discounts ie british cycling, 10% weekend and vouchers. they're doing 10% off now when you trade in your bike (get a old one cheap?).

I had some post the other day with a 10% voucher, might be a centre parcs leaflet. I'll forward it if I can find it. Email me.
One question about this bike, is the rear hub an xd driver or normal 11 speed styles?
Rival rear hub so standard 11 speed road hub.
It states 10-42 cassette which means it must be XD driver, surely?
It's a xd hub on mine.
