Boardman is very cool.

I'll post pics shortly of my latest toy, a Chinese open mold Fm066 (Hongfu bikes is manufacturer, they're sold undr other names also). Tube shapes roughly like a Cervelo R5, frame only 835g in a 50, fork around 450g, build w/full DA 7800 somewhere in the 14 range I would guess, need to get it on a scale. The best part is that with post, headset , integrated carbon bars and stem, and some odds and ends it was under a grand shipped to US.

After a couple short rides I can say that its more comfy than my prior carbon bike ('04 Madone) while giving up nothing in handling, substantially lighter and snappier as a result, and pretty nice handling-haven't tried any hairbrained descents. Only complaint is that internal cable routing is a *****, have to take off ports and fish out the cable with hemostats or the like, but suspect that any frame that is compatible with both Di2 and standard cables is this way.
