Hey all,

I'm in the market for a new bike and have been looking at the 8bar frames and full builds. I'm really busy at the moment and don't have time to put together a build so looking at getting something that I can just jump straight on. Does anyone have any experience / opinion on 8bar, I'm really into their new FHAIN Steel frame and like the idea of trying a steel for commuting.

Are their components they use in their builds cheap crap or are they half decent for the price?

Cheers in advance,
Sam

I rented one of their bikes for a few days out of curiosity. It was okay but I wouldn't buy one. I'd recommend looking at the classifieds on here, you'll get a better deal.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
