Thinking from buying from these guys

http://www.bikes4all.org.uk/

They sell put together bikes on ebay. Think I can get a fixed hub road bike, can cannibalize onto my own.. I think it'll be cheaper than buying cranks, bb, chain, hub, spokes to properly convert mine.

Still in the process of single speeding mine to check ratio, then I'll try a suicide hub before going across.

Question is, do these guys look like the know what they're doing?

Cheers in advance folks.

the people who build the bikes do know what they are doing from what I've seen, yes.

why try a suicide hub first?

A fixed hub only costs £15 new.

im sure you could convert your own bike to a far higher standard with the same money.

you might be right, but i'd need to buy a hub, spokes, (not to mention i've got very old rims), potentially new cranks and bb, and a chain ring. So I thought it would be cheaper to go through these guys, their bikes go for about £100...

However, i'm nearly there on my own conversion (just from my old stuff) so I'll get an idea of whether it will suit my commute..

I bought an old frame from them. Pretty good service well packaged and reasonably fast delivery.

Thats good to know! cheers.

I've batted a few emails about, I'd like them to sell a flipflop wheel made up... I'd pay about 50 quid for something solid.

This is a great solid rear wheel, not sure they'll do you one for £50 though.
