First single speed, new or second hand?

I've seen some companies like NoLogo and Mango do new single speed bikes for around £200-30. From a quick search everyone seems to have a low opinion of them.

The main use is to commute a couple of miles to central London for work .

If I get one second hand, is the general advice to just post in the Wanted section?

I'm also a short arse so would need a 49/50 frame which I guess narrows the second hand market even more.

Look at the for sale threads.

Look at the for sale threads.

Complete beater for sale at £45 in sale threads today (may have gone allready at that price) but it's a 56cm.
Try a wanted add.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out on the sale threads.

Also what do people thing of the Charge plug 2?

Yeah. Get the plug, they're an excellent first biek, lots better than the Mangos, Foffas and Quellas.

Shopping round the classifieds is great once you know what you're doing, but for a first timer the reliability and ease of something new is best.

Yeah Charge plug is a gateway drug
