I bought that exact Boardman MTB about 18mths ago - I find it is great. I really hammer mine on some steep downhill routes and the shocks/brakes have had a really hard life but its done well and feels great. used to go a out 2-3 times a week for a bout a year Nothing broken all good. did change the seat over to a more comfy one for my bum.

Thanks.

It was my first choice until the other one appeared. I'm not clued up enough to tell the difference apart from the Boardman is a decent bit lighter.

Between those two I'd pick whichever one you like the paint job of. They'll both be great. Personally I'd have the Boardy. My mate has one, I have the model down, and it's a superb bike.

Yes, that was my thinking. The Boardman is 2kg lighter which I'd guess would be noticeable.
