Hi

Can anyone reccomend a ladies gel saddle. I am doing a 35 mile charity cycle ride in September & need a bit more comfort in the nether regions.

Thanks

Anyone got an opinion on the 'Boardman' range of bikes??

Good question KR2. My next-door neighbour has the mid-range flatbar bike and it looks the bees-knees. I know they get bad press for being sold by Halfords but it looks like a lot of kit for the money, and I'm tempted.
Any experts ?

well Danny, I'm exploring the cycle to work scheme and there's a chance that buying a bike from Halfords is the only way to go so.....a colleague rode one around the local Halfords last night and was very impressed and it did indeed look the bees-knees.

Anyone got one??

Yup. It's the spokes (or lack of) that do it for me. This also had me drooling

Boardman bikes are getting good reviews, just be sure to get it set up proper once bought as the mechanics at halfords would struggle with simple lego.

As far as i know, you can get halfords to source other bikes - e.g. px have sold alot through them to c2w buyers.

OK rhb, maybe get it from Halfords then straight down the lbs for the setup.

You can also get Focus bikes through Wiggle in the Halfords C2W scheme. Met a guy at a triathlon on Sunday who had the Cayo (lovely bike) which he got through Halfords. The Focus are awesome bang for your buck. Them and Planet X are the best value once you get to a grand. Head and shoulders the best
