    Also consider Boardman Road Comp.

    Confirming that the boardman is a great bike. If or when you get it - Change the brakes, adjust the rear derailleur to actually work, and get some lube for the chain coz whatever stuff halfords use sucks.

    Despite these tiny things, its a fantastic buy. Would prefer not to see too many on them tho. I want to be special!!

    Congrats Mister Bassett, may you have many hours of happy cycling. Nice looking bike too with a full Shimano Tigra groupset unlike some of the mix and match groupsets on other bikes. Can I ask where you purchased the Kellys IRC 3.9 and how much it cost, did you buy pedals with it also? Have been looking at the Kellys the past while as thinking of purchasing one also. Thanks
