Chris Boardman bike

I have not put this in Classifieds yet as I am not sure which model it is. It has Pro on the frame and looks like the picture from his website, if so it is retailing at £1,000. It is brand new and never been ridden, and there are also new Shimano shoes size 43, helmet, gloves, and tyre pump.

As there are quite a few bikers on here hopefully someone will recognise it and I can put a price on it.

What size is it tut? Should be a sticker on the down tube near the bottom bracket

There is a sticker Richard, but it says CB/Halfords/Conforms to.....but I can not see a frame size.

It is for a 5' 11" rider so at least 54cm.

No danger you're 5'11" Tut! looks nice, if i'd not invested in a bike last summer I'd have been interested for sure, shouldn't have a problem selling that, even on Gumtree??

Not mine of course, it's Ian's but he has just gone offshore and we have emptied his house as the new owners move in on the 5th.

Cheers tut. Was thinking of the wife but that'll be too big

I thought size did not matter?

Have you got a close up photo of the labels on the rear derailer, the disc calipers and the wheels?
The frame is basically the same for all the models in that hybrid series, it's the groupset & wheels that make a difference to the price.
If it really is the Hybrid Pro then retail is currently £999 and the largest frame they sell is a 54cm seat tube.
Typically 2nd hand bikes in good condition go for ~50% of their retail price. However since this is unused with accessories you might get £600-£650, maybe £700 to the right person.
Main issue is that lots of people buy these on Cycle to Work which means they are getting it for a 25% discount and with 0% finance. Hence you normally find a glut of 2nd hand Boardman's on eBay that have hardly been used.

Thanks Mark, will post some pics up tomorrow.

I think the bike is an older model of the Pro (2013?), since the kit is more like the current Team edition. From your photos:

1) the groupset is SRAM APEX, same as the current Team. The current Pro has Shimano 105 which is slightly more expensive & better quality.
2) the disk brakes are Avid Elixir 1, same as the current Team. The current Pro has Shimano Deore which is again is a bit more expensive, not much mind.
3) the wheels are completely different and look like Richey OCRs which cost about the same as the Mavic XM319s on the current Team. The Shimano RX05 wheels on the current Pro are at least £50-70 more.

The current version of the Team is £675 in Halfords, given the pretty small differences in spec, it makes the Pro model look very expensive!
Since it's almost new but an old model I'd probably try selling for around £500, see if you got any interest and be prepared to haggle down to ~£450 including the accessories..
Gumtree, eBay & BikeRadar are good places to start, plus SE of course!
