Chris Boardman Defends His Bikes
In an interview with the Bike Biz website legendary cyclist, Chris Boardman, has been defending his range of bikes. He also spoke highly of his relationship with Halfords; a retailer as well known for selling spark plugs as it is bicycles here in the UK.
Chris said that; “We have been able to bring high quality bikes of the specification we wanted to achieve to more people than via other routes to market, and for an awesome price, which is a fantastic combination.
“Seeing the top scores we receive in pretty much every independent review we put the bikes up for is testimony to this being a winning formula.”
Personally, I think the Pro Carbon Race Prepared bike is a great bike for the money. It’s really difficult to argue with the level of kit that that comes supplied; full SRAM Red, Zip 404 and Ritchey finishing kit. But it is so hard to escape the stigma of a bike bought from Halfords.
If it’s any consolation, I hate hate myself for it!
