Charge Plug freestler

the bike to work thing has popped up at my work they are only dealing with evens, just wondering if anyone on here rides the freestyler thinking of getting one for a second bike as treat to myself, like the freestyler as it looks more relaxed than a proper track bike also has flip flop hub sometimes its nice to cruzeeee.

general opinion is it worth it or is the plug racer a better run bout bike

I suppose it's a decent bike for central London, but if you're doing long commute, a racer would be better, thought even the standard Plug is more than enough.

considering it's a Charge Plug with a raised handlebar, velocity deep v's, I'm sure it's not that different to the standard Plug.

If I were you, go to your local bike shop, test ride the Charge Plug, if you like it, then get that or wait for the Freestyler (if it's hard to get).

I think the freestyler comes with "own brand" rims which are probably rebadged weinmanns.

you're probably right, I assumed it a velocity because of the colour and the deep V, I mean the green are almost unmistakeably the velocity's green, you know what I mean?

If you want the Freestyler, order it now as they are going to sell like hotcakes, nice bit of kit imo:
