Just in from work and by jimine I need to shower but, I'll be back.

One of the GC contenders will need to do something soon or they are going to hand J Rod the race.
And if J-Rod doesn't he's going to hand it to NSC's finest.

This descent is a bit hairy, a bit narrow for the peleton, will be interesting to see how much they push.

Hello everyone. I bought a Boardman Hybrid Comp yesterday and absolutely bloody love it.
Never ridden a bike which didn't have a suspension before, so it's a bit of a shock. But fantastic fun and surprisingly comfy!

That is all.

:)
Ha ha ha ha, you're so screwed, and the only person on this thread who doesn't know it is...YOU!

At the start of a glorious Summer, with the potential of Euro's flop, the ramp up to the Olympics will be The Tour de France.
(looking over shoulders and typing quietly) Bradley Wiggins might win.
Then the Olympic Mens road race.
All the time the suns beating down, roadies enjoying their bikes.
You'll be looking at your hybrid but wanting a Time RXR VIP. :lol:

Great choice, you've brought the best value bike on the market.
The only fly would be Halfords, don't be too beholden to them, your Local Bike Shop will love your business, and will do a better job on service and repairs.

Oh you'll need a decent track pump.
Thinner tyres really need to be ridden inflated close to/on the max.
Too soft and you could have handling issues at speed, and you'll be more prone to punctures.

Seriously thought about putting him in as well, he will do ok in the TT, could well podium if he finishes in the lead group today and tomorrow.

You've got to love that feeling when you just can't turn, and you're running out of road.

The thing is all the work helps RH more than Basso.

It's going to be a cracking 7kms.

I did do a hell of a lot of research and the general consensus was that it was a better bike than the Giant Escape 1 I was looking at. Halfords was the only thing people warned of and the setup isn't actually that good. One gear won't work and I've got a strange squeak when I push down hard on the left pedal. But I'm glad I went for the better bike and the local bike shops will surely get my custom when I need a good service or repair!
