2015 Boardman AiR9.8 Elite Frameset, Size SM 54cm
Description
2014/2015 Boardman AiR 9.8 Elite road frameset (but great for TT/Tri as well). It is a size SM, which translates to a 54cm frame. Geometry in the photos, and some pics with a tape pulled on actual tube measurements, not effective. Feel free to ask any questions, or for more pictures.
I stopped racing tris in 2016 after Ironman Chattanooga, and sold all of my bikes… except this one. This was my favorite aero road frame that I had ever owned, and thought that one day I would want to ride again and I would build this baby back up. But alas, 10 years later, and I’m not seeing that return on the horizon, so its time for this to find a new home.
I owned a bike shop in Chattanooga for 5 years (HUB Endurance), and I bought this bike from Boardman thru my shop in the fall of 2015. I trained on it for 1 season and only raced it once ever (IM Chattanooga 2016). It was well taken care of, and meticulously maintained. The only signs of wear are a couple nicks from errant pebbles, and a bit of tire rub on the chainstay and seatstay. Other than the, its in excellent condition. I stored it in a bike box in climate controlled storage the past 10 years. (I’m pretty sure its a 2015 model, but the serial number has a 2014 in it, so maybe it was 2014… either way they didn’t change the frameset between those years.)
Here is a link to Boardman’s website from 2015 showing all of the pertinent specs and details on the frame and a nice video with Chris explaining all the details about the new (then) design. https://web.archive.org/web/20150920014346/http://www.boardmanbikes.com/road/air98_frameset.html
