Bike advice

Here's an idea that I'm thinking of putting into action for myself: Get yourself a Charge Tap commuter bike (Tange infinity tubing, so should be a bit lighter than the Plug), swap out the Nexus hub and wheel for a decent fixed hub/rim combo (and sell the Nexus). Should result in a solid fixie steed.

The Tap is £500, less (say) £40 for the sale of the Nexus hubbed rear wheel, and you've got £140 left in your budget for a decent rear wheel.

The only thing that's confusing me is whether the Tap has horizontal dropouts or not - the Charge web site says yes, all the pictures of it show it with them, but the specs on some online bike stores (like Pearson) say it has vertical. Anyway, I've ordered one for a trial ride from Evans Cycles so I should have the answer some time this week.

Not a bad idea.
Wouldnt mind knowing plug weight for sure.
