    Morning All,

    Well hopefully will pop to a few bike shops this weekend to begin the search for a bike,
    I did pop in to an Halfords and was advised that the Boardman CX Comp Bike would be suitable for 100mile plus rides.
    Being new to cycling I was just after other peoples thoughts on this bike or should i discount it?

    Thanks in advance

    I have the Team version with 28mm slicks on. It’s a great bike for long distance rides very comfy and pretty quick too. My only advice would be to ride it a lot and have your local bike shop service it, I don’t trust Halfords one bit in that respect.

    For longer road rides I’d swap the tyres for some decent road tyres, 25 or 28mm.

    More importantly, I’d not chooose a bike based solely on the advice of a Halfrauds salesperson. Visit some other shops before you decide, lots of great bikes out there.

    It’s worth reading road.cc’s road & cyclocross bike reviews and Buyer’s Guide section too.

    Boardman make good bikes with
    Boardman make good bikes with generally better kit than others of similar price. I would recommend you get a higher spec bike with hydraulic disc brakes. They are much better. Ensure you get the right size for you.

    I did 3 100 milers charity rides on mine last year
