Does anyone have any experience with this manufacter/brand?

I'll admit that I was seduced by how they look but as there isn't a stockist nearby, I'm unable to try one, but if they're worth it, I'll make the journey to London to try one out.

I've seen mixed reviews on the Internet but it's a nightmare trying to find a relatively new review.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's a brightly coloured, cheap and probably quite heavy singlespeed.

You do realise it's a singlespeed ? form over function for the majority of riders imo.

Much better bikes for the money out there I think.

They don't get a lot of love on the fixed gear forums (although truth be told, they're a difficult lot to please). If you're looking for an off the peg fixed/singlespeed, a Charge Plug might be a better buy - it's a bit more expensive, but they're generally better made. You could probably get a secondhand Plug or Specialized Langster for the same money as well.

I'd avoid if I were you, they look nice but really aren't good bikes. You'd get more bang for your buck elsewhere.

I do - I'd prefer a singlespeed because I'm going to be using it sporadically year-round and mainly for cardio in the open air. Also I can switch it around and pretend to be a hipster.

I've fallen in love with the 2008 Charge Plug. But that's just because of its aesthetics. I'm either going to have to hunt one down or cajole Charge into selling me one that I'm sure they have in stock. Or painting a current one to match.

My problem was that I read a lot of bad reviews from a few years ago, and I struggled to find anything up to date. But I think I've settled on a Plug now.

Thank you all - much appreciated.:)
