Is this bike any good?

  • Light weight replica Colnago frame. Unknown frame builder has used Colnago features and decals.

    hmmm.... how much do you want to spend on a bike thats the question.

  • actually £600

  • Good components, frame is an unknown quantity though.... looks like it could sell for more than it's collectively worth.

  • about 250 ha
    not got much at the mo

  • I wouldn't drive a Ford with a Ferrari badge stuck on it.

  • really is it that bad

  • yes... if i were you....

  • i think im really riding it
    to get fit
    and something that looks gd and that is really below 300

  • for two-fifty you can sort yourself out something on ebay that will get you going, no need to spend six hundred notes first time. You can easily end up with an old Reynolds 501 frame by Raleigh or summat, with a build with modest second hand components. Plenty going I guess it's about getting a feel for whether the seller built/converted it and if so did they have a clue what they were doing.

    Looking on here's a fine idea seeing as there's some people who do know what they're doing.

    For £150 you could buy a half-decent old road bike on ebay and then spend the rest having a pop at converting it yourself; then it would be a lot better than most of the fixed conversions on ebay.

  • thanks pajamas
    i wasnt going to spend 600 ha
    do u think that ebay one is ok thought

  • thta bike will never go to a museum, so what is worth for you?

    at the end of the day is your money, so you decide.

    check how much are some of the compoments(wheels, cracks, stem+bars...) and make yourself the idea.

  • nice
    but im looking for something that looks
    like possibly a charge plug type thing

  • but that other ebay one looks nothing like a plug...
    If you want to get fit, and dont have much money, go the conversion route - or wait and save a bit more :-)
    There are a couple of plugs for sale on the forum at the moment I think.
