gnvqsos Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The Boardman range are a hefty step up in price from that Carrera but it looks ok to me. J E James have some bikes on sale at that sort of price but when you get to the shop and ask them about them they look at you like you have just been gargling tap water from Chernobyl, plus they only ever talk to you if you are spending £30000000 on a set of disc pads.

max Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Isn't buying a bike under the cycle to work scheme and not using it for that purpose fraud? The clue being in the name of the scheme. If your employer has the same form to fill out as they have at Lloyds then your manager will have to sign it stating that it will be used, predominantly, for the purpose of commuting. If he does and you don't then he has committed conspiracy to defraud. Let's hope there's no one from HMRC reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackberry66 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Carrera frames are quite good and you do get good value on spec, but you have to also consider the resale price which is where Boardman will return a lot better price then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
