Ribble are also right down there with Halfords when it comes to assembling bikes, i've had to almost completely rebuild several, thankfully i was only daft enough to buy one. On the flip side i'm very particular about building and setting up bikes, but some of the howlers were really quite bad (read dangerous)

Not got much else to say about the boardmans, only downside is the shop they come from. Which is a shame. Other than that, i'd probably buy one.
