This is a Boardman "Team" model hybrid. Been doing alot of reading about these, hard to find anything bad about them. Trouble is you can only get them online from England apparently. Supposedly good specs for the buck.

Chris Boardman has been around a long time in Europe and has just started advertising here in the U.S. They get good reviews from the people I have heard talking about them. I have no personal experience with them,

Thanks for the link! They really do seem like good bikes, but looking at their site I just noticed all the hybrid models are probably geared to high for me... no triples up front... 50-34... otherwise they look fantastic. Im kinda surprised they don't offer more variety in gearing with their "hybrids". They look closer to road gearing... I have to be able to tackle pretty steep hills and stuff...

I am old and ride 50-34 on all my bikes. A lot of our group rides have hills of 10% and 12%. I also ride with 11-28 in the rear and this is sufficient for me.
