Rich Allen’s Boardman AiR TT
British Pro Rich Allen resides in Statesville, NC with his family and we checked out his Shimano Di2 equipped Boardman AiR TT 9.8 race bike while there for a Day In The Life feature with him. That story will go up on Monday, but now let us look closer at this fast Boardman machine.
Rich Allen just very recently completed the build.
