Unipack / Create / Sports Direct singlespeed track bikes?

'The Forum' already owns one, but I guess it dissolved somewhere along the line because no-one knows what happened to it.

Maybe, just maybe the forum bike is being loved by someone? It's a bit of a tradision in england to fafour the under-dog.

Got some bits to put on mine (may as well use them untill I get my Mercian sorted) An ITM stem Sugino Mighty crank, a Shimano 105 front brake, some pedals with a spd clip one one side and flat on the other (Bike Hut specials I think) and I have some ITM carbon forks but I'm undecided about fitting them. None of it's top-end stuff but I suppose just about anything is an upgrade on a unipack. Got to get a bottom bracket and a back wheel too.

Pitty The Unipack.

I fell victim to cheap appeal of the uni-cack, but I didn't know what I was getting myself into. The chain broke ten minuets into my first ride. But I've got a new bike now, I can leave the unipack behind me.

amen to that

also unipack?

my mate at work bought one for £150 after his good bike was stolen, pretty heavy but he says it's ok, though he did have to move the chainring to the inside of the crankarm to get a straight chainline...

has Crrhis shrac got a visa and an new identity?

typistist

deffinatly a life saver. I nearly shelled out for one before reading this. Think im just guna save up abit more cash and either get a plug or get one of the local shops to knock me one up.

"It's super-utilitarian. You can use it & abuse it. Not worry about it, or stick it on your wall - it looks amazing"

Cor, it only weighs 15 kilos... Have to get me one of those... It's a super light weight racing machine... it just doesn't know it yet...

based on MX-L's old bike by the looks of it.

^^too late

Still achingly boring. I'm off to the bike porn thread!

I like it.

In all fairness, it does look a lots better than the unipack and probably better made, it all boil down to see whether it's actually decent or not.

if it is, then we have a winner, a simple bike that people just want to go around town with.

watch this space i suppose.... you're right, if it works it works. if anyone buys one, i will be intrigued.

I would defintely buy one if it reasonably decent, or decent with a few tweaking.

it make a great pub bike too.

Dude, you'll buy anything!
