is it njs?

is what njs?

£240??? fuck off mate, that just too expensive for a piece of shit. it worth £50, not £240.

I cannot believed you actually decided to dubbed the bike as lightweight.

no branding at all on frame...
radius brakes and cst super hp rims, but nothing else on it...

you're just making a tidy £40 profit when you brought the piece of shit for £200, the wheels not even Deep V, it's just a cheap knock-off weaker copy.

£240??? fuck off mate, that just too expensive for a piece of shit. it worth £50, not £240.

..then I've been had buying it!!! Paid £50 for the lock that comes with it, but then I was probably ripped off as well?

You most certainly have been had.

I suggest you read http://www.londonfgss.com/thread5205.html

sounds like this is an add for the unipack bikes!!

you really have been had mate, no fear, some poor sod would actually buy that sooner or later and you'll have enough money to buy a 2nd hand off-the-shelf singlespeed/fixie bicycles that actually have higher quality and reliable compound (and a LOTS lighter too).

like this for instance;

the curse of The Unipack strikes again!

edscoble - you need to learn some fucking manners, 'mate'.

sorry i'm a bit alarmed by the price tags, I mean £240?? that's a lots higher than the usual price tags.

the price we pay for fashion!!

had it for 2 weeks, did norwood-wandsworth and back 4 times after no cycling for 7 years and in honesty the only thing I had an issue with were the saddle and brakes. Was in the process of saving up for a Charge, got sidetracked. Not trying to rip anyone off, just recoup. Obviously the wrong place to advertise :)

bit too big for me :(

commendable attitude considering the circumstances

hope you haven't given up cycling completely!

think consensus here is that anyone buying one (the bike, not the lock) is being had, sadly. If you're interested use the forum search for "unipack" to find posts on it.
If you're lucky you'll get a buyer on gumtree, although there's people who'll think the "had"s just being passed on then.
If you're after another bike (or are you selling because you've decided cycling or a singlespeed bike just isn't for you?) have a look at the off-the-peg thread on here:

and keep an eye on the ebay etc thread:

no way...if you don't make mistakes you never get to learn from them! I guess I got to spend more time on here and get a better education before buying a bike from an old boy in West London out of the back of his car!!!

and a charge plug is a sweet bike, brilliant choice if you hasn't ridden for a while.

wish you hadn't said that, edscoble, I was one month away!!!:) But that's what I'll go for next, I think.

+1 for the charge. If you really want to do it cheap, check gumtree regularly and also ebay.

"If you're lucky you'll get a buyer on gumtree, although there's people who'll think the "had"s just being passed on then."

True, and if I did that, I'd be a bit of a merchant banker for ripping someone else off... so what's a fair ask for the lock and the bike in your opinions?

any s/h value is usually max 75% of retail if in A1 nick.

yeah, put it on gumtree for £150, if it doesn't sell put it on ebay!

Right, clearly no one who is well into S/S-Fixies would buy it, but everyone's got to start somewhere and I'd rather that someone started reading this forum BEFORE buying, so anyone who wants the bike AND the lock for £130 can have it this weekend. That's pretty much a third off....

thats a really good price, fair play to you.

Thanks lpg, you're a gent. It's all a learning curve, I mean from what I read on here even the hardcore have had a kick in the nuts every once in a while...

+1, that's very decent, especially as after just 2 weeks trying to recoup your money's perfectly understandable

You never know, scratch "SPECIALIZED" down the tube and it might get 500 quid on ebay ;-) (A Specialized Langster went for some crazy money like that a couple of weeks ago)

Dude, I really wish you'd read this forum before buying that.

if it any consolation, the experience will probably encourage you to do a bit more research and careful planning in the future, the harsher the experience, the better the chance you'll get a better buy in future.

sorry I was a bit rude earlier, I was rather taken aback by the price tags.

No worries edscoble, it probably seemed like quite an arrogant, ignorant post, and ignorant it certainly was!
