Should i get this bike...?

hey guys, I am considering getting this unknown singularity bike, any thoughts?

https://www.unknownbikes.eu/product-page/singularity

I am proud to say that I correctly guessed the brake QR would be open before I clicked the pic. I have no proof of this, you'll have to trust me, but I did.

I'd suggest you get a bike from a company who has a fucking clue.

Should i get this bike...?

Short answer: no. At least I wouldn't.

€729.00 is a fair chunk of change, and you can get considerably 'more bike' for that kind of money when you buy something used, for example off this forum. These pre-build fashion fixies are basically not a very good deal.

I get why they look appealing, but I think they're not worth the price. Admittedly I don't have experience with this bike, but all the parts seem rebranded, low quality no-name parts. I think your money is best spent elsewhere.

Nothing to add to this. Spot on.

I guessed the saddle would be pointing to the front hub. :)

But I also guessed it would be fluoro. :(

from what i seen they are pretty established brand in USA, so what other companies would you guys suggest with similar aggressive track style?

Established or not, that bike is seriously over-priced.

EUR729 is about GBP635.

This is GBP460.

SRAM Omnium, Ritchey finishing kit, Halo Aerotrack, £175 saved.

This is GBP460.

When I look (from The Netherlands) it's £528.90:

can't really beat that if you don't want second hand / build your own.

Yeah Tijs, I used to get stung with that when I was in DH. Every so often I could somehow make it give me the English price. You pay a premium there on a lot of wiggle stuff.

Wonder why that is. Do you guys not like us? :(

Brexit.

Deal with it.

:)

apparently not according to brexit...

I did query once, and got an answer. Can't remember why now though. True story.

If you change your currency to EUR you'd get it for 556 EUR which is slightly better.

Fake news. Sad. #thanksBrexit

If you change your currency to EUR you'd get it for 556 EUR

€640.00 on this end..

see this is messed up. If you change region/language to NL, currency to EUR, and delivery to NL, it comes at 556 EUR. If you kept region/language UK, it's 640 EUR.

In short, if you're not UK based always play around with the settings when you buy something on wiggle

EDIT: it's not anymore, but it definitely was before.

It's uglier that Gordon Brown turned inside out, but also:

They can't spell their own brand name.

If you're tall...

No. €750 is a lot of scrilla, get the Eastway if you want a fixed/track bike.

from what i seen they are pretty established brand in USA

No, they aren't. Just another fixie-fad™ co.

This is evident in their 'about' section.

Why have you removed the link to their website?

For future reference it's http://www.unknownbikes.com/

Was this your first job after sockpuppet school?

Why have you removed the link to their website?

It's still in the first post.

Didn't @roboto had a nice Unknown build?

I still have and love my Unknown. I got a prototype frame from their shop in South Korea (they're not American originally) so it's a little more unique than what they've churned out recently.

They're solid bikes, well built (mine has handled everything I've thrown at it including a collision with a van and is still going strong) and with the right setup can look really nice.

The stuff on the Korean site is much nicer than that on the European or American site as it's run by the original owner of the brand and more care is taken, rather than the quantity over quality way the other sites seem to operate on.
