Er Jona, that's precisely what you said a few posts before that people shouldn't do ;)

So, we have dani2uk who makes and sells the bikes, and Thor who probably is a friend of dani's and signed up at the same time or thereabouts. Both doing just as Tony Dafoney and others have tried to do so which is to repair their online reputation after it has been besmirched on this forum by the collective membership.

The question that seems to evade all of these bike builders is "Why do they slag our products off?", and in this case dani2uk and Thor the answer can neatly be summed up as "The bikes you advertise are soundly unsafe without a second brake on the rear wheel.". That is, a single-speed bike should at least have a secondary braking mechanism. It's all fine and dandy having a fixed-wheel bike without a rear brake as the rear-wheel itself is the brake via the fixed-gear.

As for the price, anything is worth whatever people are willing to pay. If you have a market for your bikes at the price that you advertise them at, then wonderful. Forum users might not like that fact as they know that they could build/convert similar bikes for cheaper, but they're failing to account for turning a profit as the majority do such things for their friends out of the joy of doing it and seldom think to turn a profit. Good for you that you can, good for us that we find enjoyment in doing it for our friends.

But yeah, put another brake on your bikes by default. Do that and you'll find that none of us would care what you're up to... well, mostly we won't... we'd still slag off the aesthetics, but that's just beauty being in the eye of the beholder.
