  2. I don't know much about Boardman Bikes, but it appears that all of the components are from the major manufacturers. All things being equal, I would go with the Team Carbon, but not all things are equal with these bikes. If I was the buyer, I would have to go with the Shimano 105 Drivetrain. I am not a big fan of SRAM. But there are a lot of SRAM fans out there, and if it doesn't make any difference to you, then go for the carbon frame and enjoy it. Everything else on this bike is really good. I especially like the Ritchey components.
