Being used to specialised over the past 25+yrs throughout this time I have owned but to ne a few, the
demo 8 custom build , 2006 enduro and 2005 rockhopper pro .
Unfortunately after a biking accident 5 yrs ago I had to give up any heavy duty riding , as I badly broke my ankle and wrist, I sold my demo 8 and enduro but kept my rockhopper .
I returned to cycling last year and love every minute on the bike , I was looking for something more up to date and came across the boardman 2010 pro in my local Halfords and to be honest it was the gear fitted to this bike that made me think , this is a good buy ! I thought I would strip and put the parts onto my rockhopper ( happy days ) well I took this bike out on the trails etc and I have kept the boardman frame complete , as this bike is amazing and light .
Icing on the cake ' I got it for £799 and they also gave me 1x maxis tyres worth £50 ( good old Halfords ) buy one you will love it

Bought 1 yr ago Oct2010. looking for a light weight HT with good spec balance, 4 me it was Bman Pro or a cube ltd, spec, price, weight and lack of stock in the cube lead me to the boardman. took a little time to "break in" adjusted cockpit gears/brakes handle bar rotation to gain some high, increased pressure up front in the reba up to +/-100psi, swapped tyres to 2.3 verticals gave stability and feedback(stock speed kings2.1 ok in the dry, lack grip on anything lose). Halfords Dublin (Liffey Valley) good to deal with had good selection. dropped a star for few lower quality items: 9mm front wheel qr has come slack twice on the trail and poor traction stock tyres, after 2K+ miles I’m still happy with it.
