2016 bikes

Charge didn't particularly seem to think there was an issue for them to solve. They did offer to send me some bits, I'm waiting to see if they show up.

Plug 1 is alu which I didn't really want.

It's slightly lighter that's for sure

What, changing them? I am definitely changing the wheels at the very least.

Fine if you're a "bog standard" type...

Planet X Mash ripoff?

What a wanky name. Nice price inc omnoms though.

Omnoms or shit .. or something.

As far as I know they can be had for £130 with BB and chainring at retail so OEM will be £50 max.

Just swung me leg over a Cervelo R2, which is an R3 with a different fork. Is right good value.
Really really solid bike for the money. Wheels, saddle and cranks will get swapped out straight away but other than that, pretty good deal. What a coincidence that my Cycle Scheme renews next month :-)

Had a look at one of these over the weekend, and it is a really nice bike. Photos don't do it justice and I love the orange stripe on the top tube.
S2 looks similarly good value and I'll be picking one of those two up in the next week or so - plus wheels, cranks/power meter and saddle.

Paging @Rod_Munch

Brother has come out with a few new things

Why not just put two cable eyelets on the TT, looks way better than those awful cable guides

725 and 4130 frames over £500

LOL

I don't understand Brother Cycles. Who do they exist for? Is it when you sell your Foffa and fancy an 'upgrade'?

Only the R725 is over £500

The Steamroller and Big block don't have cable guides either, same price range to, wouldn't bother me

It also got mudguard eyelit, which the Steamroller seriously lacked.

Because lazy design.

So cables don't ruin lines of the sick fixie skidder. Obvs.

The 2016 one does on the rear now.

Rack mount rather, nothing on the front.

2017 wanted list
