Boardman (Badman) Commuto-X

Had this for quite some time, it's evolved somewhat. The main problems I've had were with the original BB30 bearings which lasted <500 miles, and the original avid BB5 brakes were crap, replaced them with BB7rd which are better, but still not the best with the Apex levers, then fitted a travel agent on the front, which means alright braking (not as good as well set up rim brakes) soon I will change to TRP Spyre which I've tried, and found excellent. I do alot of miles on the bike, it's a great all rounder, and not as slow as it looks.

Cheers! It does it's job excellently (: It's great on long rides too, bit heavy but for training rides I guess that's a good thing.
