I think the basic comp may actually have been the only model which didnt seem to suffer from this, we sold quite a lot of the team (i think, the middle one anyway) and had pretty much every single one back with drivetrain problems because of the alignment.
To be honest, none of the boardmans ever really struck me as being fantastic bikes. They are a mish mash of component brands and i think that aggravated the alignment issues. There was problems with the whole range like disc brake calipers being too chunky and fouling on spokes etc.
Don't be fooled by the Boardman brand either, these are just (slightly) upmarket halfords bikes.
