Stupid comment based no doubt on one bad experience!!! I have had many bikes from Halfords (although bike snobs such as yourself may refer to them as "bike shaped objects") and they have been fine. However, my mate bought a Scott from Evans and it was set up so badly that the seat span around on the post, the brakes didn't work and the chain fell off the top of the cassette!!!! Does that mean that Evans are crap? of course not, does it mean one employee messed up? more than likely!!!

Still £379 in my local store, though the offer of £100 worth of accessories was advertised.

good bikes but poorly assembled, which is why I'll never buy a bike from Halfords again.

Bikes are EASY to take apart and re-assemble. I would highly suggest going on youtube and learning to do it all yourself, as it will save you a lot of cash in the long run!
I went from having to take my bike to the local bike shop to adjust the dérailleur to taking apart a pair of Epicon forks for a mini service.

The bike is not online for this price. I went into halfords and got the deal. I don't know if bike was ex display but the £100 pound accessories are instore at least in Kirkcaldy with all of the sale Boardman bikes. They're last years stock. Sorry I don't know if it's national

So, it was a one off deal then? Well done you but I think a few more need to buy at this price to justify the heat!

How did they not spot that your single word reply was sarcastic, it was SO obvious!
Now that's sarcasm!

All 2014 boardman bikes are on sale with £100 worth of free accessories too. In store only so availability will vary.

Are you sure they have not sold you a junior one? Looks awfully similar?
Good winter bike for the money. I got an ex display ltd Ed from Halfords in Perth 14 months ago, paid £220 with a set of SPD pedals thrown in. I would phone around, there will still be some display models to be had.

Folks - be aware, this bike will also work in Autumn and Summer. However, I'm not so sure about Spring, you might have to dig into the specs a little to find that out.
Which doesn't explain how you get it for £300!
This is getting heat but doesn't appear to be an available deal.

Where's the link and how do you get this deal? As posted this doesn't appear to be available?

It's was in Kirkcaldy in Fife. There was only one on display but not sure if it's instore only but with £100 to spend on accessories it was good deal

Aero with Dura Ace....certainly sir....
Enough nonsense....check the gear ratio's.... but the single most important thing; make sure the frame size is correct for you.... There are plenty of guidelines for this.... On Youtube GCN have a decent explanation on frame size / fit....search "GCN Frame size" There are lots of others guides on Youtube....about frame size....

Good frame, basic claris groupset (compared to others available) but reliable.
Great first bike or good cheap winter bike or great value commuter

An excellent bike, though I'm not an expert on these things. Had mine two years.
