Is it even possible to find a better value for money bike than this?

I was looking at the Boardman Air range but they start at about £1300 and they aren't much better than the Team Carbon.
 
Nothing comes close to that boardman for the price.

Even if you can claim the tax back on the usual choices of Planet X or Ribble, they still work out a fair bit more expensive.
 
That is pretty crazy cheap.

Enjoying the road biking at the minute, almost up to 30kmph average for my evening route. Got to cram the training in this week with my ride on Saturday, weather forcasts pretty poor though :(

Got my big order from CRC today too which was good, some fancy Lezyne pumps floor pump and one for the bike, I also got some tyre levers, I didn't realise on the site that they were blooming massive though.

They are the X-Tools Pro Tyre levers, metal ones for a bit more strength, but they weigh a ton and are pretty long. Think ill be taking some normal plasticy ones out with me and leaving these at home or MTB only.

If that's on Wiggle, then it can't be bought in the UK. Shame as that's a bargain.
 
My bike has started making random clicky noises from the pedals when I am riding, only makes the noise when applying pressure on the pedals, if I get off the bike and spin the pedals it doesn't make noise, only when I am pedalling hard/fast in a heavy gear but will still click every now and then in a lighter gear. Bike has been fine for 5 months and then about a week ago it started doing it.

What could it be? As bike is only 6 months old is it something still covered under a warranty.

Most likely to be bottom bracket. (Which often isnt covered under warranty).

Could also be pedal threads.

most likely the pedals want a bit of grease on the threads. I have to do mine every couple. of months.
 
Just bought the Boardman Pro Carbon, couldn't afford to let it go at that price, got it for £769 shipped. Not gonna let it put me off my diet though, still need to lose a bunch before it arrives.

Now the waiting game begins!
