Boardman Bikes Performance Series 2014 Road Team Carbon Fi

Boardman Bikes has released a women-specific sub-£1000 full carbon-fibre road model equipped with Shimano Tiagra and 105 components.

The Boardman Performance Series Road Team Carbon Fi, to give it its full name, features female-specific frame geometry and a well-selected component package that falls under the magic £1000 Cycle To Work scheme mark.

The carbon-fibre frame and full carbon forks are outfitted with 20-speed Shimano 105 and Tiagra drivetrain, with FSA Gossamer chainset. The wheels feature Mavic CXP22 rims, Continental Ultra Sport II tyres and stopping comes via the respectable Tektro R540 calipers.

Gearing is a sensible 50/34-teeth rings matched to a 12-28 tooth cassette.

Boardman Bikes are claiming an all-in weight of 8.55kg (18.85lbs) and is available in sizes 48.5cm, 50cm, 51.5cm and 53cm.

The Road Team Carbon Fi is available now exclusively from Halfords priced £999, and joins the existing aluminium-framed Sport Fi road model in the company's women-specific 'Fi' bike range.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
