Boardman Team C7 Full Carbon Road Bike 2018.
Bike has done very few miles in its life, perhaps a few trips out a year, due to family / work commitments.
It really is in very good condition and very hard to fine any signs of wear.
No chips or scratches, no squeaks or play in any of the bearings.
Read any review on this book and it will quote the excellent frame and adequate group set,
so I have enjoyed upgrading to top Shimano levels of 105, Integra and Ultra so the bike now has top notch buttery smooth gear changes with best in class frame performance.
Rather than take my word for it. Read below why this bike won bike of the year…
To list out the spec…
Full carbon frame and forks
Mavic wheels
Shamino Ultegra brakes (upgraded)
Shimano Tiagra levers
Shimano 105 rear derailleur (upgraded)
Shimano front mech Tiagra
New Rear cassette Shimano 34T – I live on top of a big steep hill so switched to a bigger cassette to make the climbs easier, original 28T cassette included.
Plus carbon fibre bottle cage.
Original retail price: £1000
Will post by parcel force.
Or local collection welcome.
Any questions just message.
Thanks Ed
ROAD.CC ROAD BIKE OF THE YEAR 2017-18
And so to our winner, and it's another Road Bike of the Year award for Boardman. Last year the £1,799 Road Pro Carbon SLR nabbed the award, this time it's the £900 Road Team Carbon. Boardman is on a roll. The Road Team Carbon continues the theme of fun and exhilarating bikes delivered by Boardman that also manages to offer excellent value for money. You can't argue with the performance or kit from this entry-level racer, and the frame is so good it'll be well worth upgrading the parts as and when you can.
The Team shares the same geometry as the SLR Endurance, which means the handling is quick but never feels twitchy, so should your tyres break traction slightly front or rear it's really easy to keep control. It's very reassuring, especially if you aren't the most confident of bike handlers and find yourself in a bit of trouble. The frame and fork are made from carbon, not a common material at this £1,000 price point; usually, bikes in this price range use the cheaper aluminium frame material paired with a carbon fork. If you really want a carbon bike at this price, this if one of the few very good options.
The Team isn't quite as racy as its big brother in Boardman's performance range, the Pro Carbon SLR, which was our bike of the year a couple of years back. But consider the Team as a stepping stone, something to hone your skills on before you maybe consider racing.
The frame uses a press-fit bottom bracket, which means the frame can be wider at this point because the bearing cups, as you have no doubt guessed, are pressed into the frame rather than screwed in with the bearings left externally. This makes for a stiff bottom half of the frame to resist pedalling forces when really going for it, either on the flat or when climbing.
A thousand pounds is a very competitive price point, seeing frames of varying materials. I'm a big metal fan and normally at this price point I'd take an aluminium alloy frame over cheap carbon, but Boardman has shown here that a good carbon frame can be delivered at this price point.
The Boardman Road Team Carbon is currently discounted to £900, making it an even better buy than when we reviewed it at £1,000. You could use the saving to upgrade the brakes.
Current Price: £155.00
