Boardman performance hybrid opinions please?

cmyk

Just trying to get a couple of opinions regarding this bike? I know it's halfords and they've divided opinions here before. Seems a good spec and it's a great looking bike and feels comfortable.

Bike will be used for relatively short spins/commuting, so don't really need a bike with drops. It's 999e and will be getting it on the bike to work scheme.

sounds like it will do your needs just fine.
If anything you could spend alot less for your needs

Cassette is 11-32 by the Boardman website with a compact chainset - would be fast enough and still be able for the steep stuff.

OP - one question - why don't you get a road bike? You can ride the tops or hoods and if you ever want to use the drops they're there too (plus you dont end up posting asking about a bar & shifter conversion to road units in 6 months time)

You can get this for a lot less. It's got room for mudguards and panniers (most road bikes don't) or if you want a really good bike there's this.
