  • More interest on this thread on interior design than this NOS frameset so down again to £475 (and any advice on whether that’s still too dear would be appreciated)

  • The price is more than reasonable on this maybe put the price in the title. Its just a bad time of year or possibly a bad year for selling bike stuff especially rim brake aero bikes. I'm trying to sell similar myself. The geo on this would be useful as i think these come up long for their stated size so it will probably fit a lot of people that usually ride a 53/54 M frame even though this is labelled as a small also how much room in the chainstay? Whoever buys this will probably want to stick it on aero wheels but the problem is rims are getting so fat a lot of new aero wheels don't fit into all aero frames even fairly new ones like this. Nice looking frames these and they've always been well reviewed and good enough for the Brownlees. GLWS

  • Thanks, that all makes complete sense and with only two rubbish pictures and no proper sizing information it's not exactly the best of ads!

    I think there's also something in the Boardman brand not being seen as premium whereas you get a lot for your money - I had a stock secondhand Boardman Team Carbon with Rival and it rode easily as nicely as bikes costing several times as much. I ended up selling as I got something a bit more bougie but that was really just snobbery on my part as the fancier bike was no better, if anything I enjoyed riding it less (a lesson I have consistently failed to heed over the years).
