The Performance frame is just shy of 1kg though, so it’s still an exceptionally light chassis for the price.It’s an aggressive, racy shape too, with parallel 73-degree head and seat angles, and short 405mm chainstays, which make for a tight wheelbase in relation to our medium bike’s 55.5cm top tube. A 73-degree head angle helps give the pro c slr a racy feel: a 73-degree head angle helps give the pro c slr a racy feel Future PublishingA 73-degree head angle helps give the Pro C SLR a racy feelThe shallow, 140mm head tube puts you in a low, more aero ride position and contributes to a snappy, reactive bike that’s more than adept at rapid direction changes.The shifting, braking and wheels match – and in some cases, surpass – all the other Bike of the Year contenders in pure performance terms. Ultrega’s new Dura-Ace-style are stunning, powerful, controllable and with very little neutral lever travel before they act.Even during the torrential rain that we faced in the last hour-and-a-half of our long-distance test ride, we never lost confidence in the braking. Plenty of that is down to the Ultegra units, the quality of the brake surface on the Ultegra rims contributes a great deal too. Gear shifts are quick, responsive and noiseless.Spend £1,500 to £2,000 on a bike and you should expect it to come with shimano 105, sram rival or campagnolo veloce – ultegra is even better: spend £1,500 to £2,000 on a bike and you should expect it to come with shimano 105, sram rival or campagnolo veloce – ultegra is even better Future PublishingSpend £1,500 to £2,000 on a bike and you should expect it to come with Shimano 105, SRAM Rival or Campagnolo Veloce – Ultegra for that price is even betterAdd in decent Continental Ultra Sport tyres and there is little to fault here, although the 53/39 chainset and 11-25 cassette occasionally felt a little restrictive on prolonged climbs.The Pro C SLR proved comfortable enough – it’s not super smooth but it was never jarring, even on the very worst surfaces. The slender aluminium bar does suffer a little buzz over gravel-topped tarmac but swapping to a carbon bar would cure that – and still give change from £2,000. If you’re a budding crit or circuit racer looking for a bike to offer a decent advantage, there’s nothing else we’d change. The Pro C SLR offers spectacular value.  .Product SpecificationsNamePerformance Series Pro CSLR (14)BrandBoardmanBrakesShimano UltegraForkCarbon Frame MaterialCarbon Front DerailleurShimano UltegraFront TyreContinental Ultra sport, 23cHandlebarBoardman E4PRear DerailleurShimano UltegraRear TyreContinental Ultra sport, 23cSaddleFi'zi:k ArdeaSeatpostBoardman E4P carbonStemBoardman E4P Weight (kg)7.64WheelsetShimano Ultegra
