MODEL AND SIZING GUIDE

Boardman SLR: where to start with sizing

Separate older road-bike listings by model number and frame variant.

Everyday Bike Fit catalogue guide · prepared 2026-09-21 · Source dates shown per entry. Independent editorial review pending.

Identify the bike first

Retain the complete SLR model number and any Disc or women’s designation. A seller’s purchase date may differ from the model year.

If the year is unknown, look for the model name, size sticker, wheel label and distinctive frame or brake details. Compare them to the source listing. Photographs can narrow a search; they cannot prove identity on their own. Leave the chart unconfirmed until its generation and wheel option match.

What our catalogue holds

20 entries: 8 with published body ranges and 12 with size labels only. Documented model or catalogue years represented: 2026, 2021. This is catalogue coverage, not a list of bikes currently in stock or every generation ever made.

Below are up to three entries with their own source information. Search the full catalogue for other variants and years. A source-check date is not a manufacture date, and the current source may have changed since that check.

Before choosing a size

Check the existing stem, bars and seatpost against the source specification. Used bikes may have changed parts even when the frame identity is correct.

Measure height and inside leg twice, barefoot. Where both are published, keep each height and inside-leg pair together. Keep all overlapping sizes for comparison. If the measurements conflict, sit outside the chart or depend on an open-ended band, seek individual advice rather than extrapolating.

Frame stack and reach, when available, describe the frame and not the final hand position. A chart cannot account for every body proportion, component change or riding goal. Check the actual bike’s adjustment limits and arrange a try-out where possible.
