you may well be out of the nursery but not in the direction you'd want.

this is very hard work when you dont have much internet access

Use it wisely.

Well I'm in! I consider myself in nappies for a couple of days, suitably etched with the tatoo of an oily chainring though

Just posted a shot of my new build-in-progress in Current Projects, came up with a "wait for moderation" message. Still not up, it usually take this long or is it cos I noob/broken & need to repoast?

hahaha yeah saki, he was interesting novelist from scotland...ruba'iyat

and conrad made toast

Nursey eh?

Oh I thought I might find Michael Jackson here..

Hippy!

That is quality!

Hi all, I am new here and like others looking for your generous advice as I hunt a single speed bike.

I have always used geared racers but am keen for a change! I have used the search engines to look at the Subway Zero which looks quite decent for a low price but I do not think anyone has actually bought one.

Does anyone own one or have any reports from anyone that has? Thanks

Ask in the OTP thread, should get some advice and other bikes to consider. good luck and welcome.

Will do - thanks.

Out to pull?

Just want to look good ....just joking - I think like others on here I seem to spend a lot of time gathering and playing with bikes. I had 3 racers, now am down to 2. One I just use around London and I think this purpose wuld be much better suited to a single speed (less maintenance etc).

Also I just fancy a change/something new ....

Just tried testing a couple of bikes - from evans and halfords! ArghhH!

Evans had various sizes of Charge there - surprised to find that the small was a decent fit - thought I would be medium as I am 5'10. The bike was not as it should be - the fixed wheel cog was missing - hence a flip rather than a flip-flop!

Tried the Subway too - nothing wrong with it but did not feel as nice. It is basically a mountain bike with slicks - nothing against that but I was personally not looking for something that resembles a mountain bike.

Fan of the charge but will check out a couple of others.....

Good call, try as many as you can.

Ok, so this is a good idea.
Im new on this forum and I have to admit, if i was a rat trying to spam on forums, this has just pissed me off.
How do i tell i've been on this forum for atleast 24 hours?

at least 24 hours after you've been registered on the forum you can be sure that you've been on the forum for at least 24 hours..

Aye, but I registered a good week ago, I had come on the forum for a quick peek every now and again and well I have no clue how many hours its all added up to :/

I believe he was seen here on friday having a stroke…!

As far as I know it's not cumulative of how many hours you've actually spent on the forum, just 24 from when you sign up.

Hi,

I wanted to find out more about buying a bike in a box. Have seen a Bike from Bikes 2U Direct, a Saracen Venturer 2 07 for £220. Will it be easy to assemble? Is it good value for money?

Can this company be trusted? Or should I stick to a local store?

Ideas?

I need the bike for the London to Cambridge run. At the moment I'm riding my 5 year old Challenge bike which I bought for only £80! It still goes okay, but I want a hybrid. My budget is £250.

Go to your local bike store and pick up a Giant or a Specialized hybrid.

There's plenty within your budget and they normally come with a free service after 3 months. If anything goes wrong with it or you have any niggles then you have a point of contact.

Or you could buy a fixed or singlespeed :^]

can we add an instruction along the lines of - do not buy a unipak or create bike, if you do expect to be laughed at, especially when it fucking falls apart

Yeah, I have to say that I did not know any better and was close to getting one.

.....saved by the forum!

^-reported*

*that was pointing at a spam message that was rapidly deleted. Let the twitching mangled corpse of that spam post serve as a warning to the others....

nursery = good idea... so many shite forums out there

Yes, fine forum. I went to the bike store recently, they are now selling flip/flop fixed gear/single speeds, ornate bicycles, £600 generally I would say...I do have a single speed set up...

I fixed up the Super Tourer I have, that must be the best route to go.

Fixed Gear gallery, whatever it is called websearch it on the net and look up any make of bike.

Stop posting shit to get out of the nursey..

They are probably just getting out of the nursery to post a wanted for a 'spok anyway.

It's just more money in ASM's already dorrah lined pockets.

Apparently asm is sold out, but _Zed_ has a few, $50 PM him.

testing mobile account

Looks like it went ok.
Nice avatar btw.

Testing the account.


Yup, seems to be in order.

being in nursery brings back memories

Pissed yourself then? Ah happy days ;)

hey, i'm pretty new to this but am just looking for a nice single speed bike i can buy in good condition. I'm not a hipster and I've learnt through others mistakes to not call them 'courier bikes'! I just need some advice and direction into not buying a complete death-trap so i can cycle to work. Any ideas anybody? Thanks in advance.

oh ideally in london also!

Don't buy a unipack or a create. What's your budget?
