Unipack / Create / Sports Direct singlespeed track bikes?

I'm happy to think of the uni-pac as a gateway drug to a better bike, but on the other hand, you can get a bike that will last longer that's second hand for just as cheap, then when you ready to spend more money you'll know more about what you like/don't like about your current ride.

Don't just enter into mindless consumerism, spend some time thinking about what you really need from a bike, then find a bike that suits you.

yesss! i agree with this, i once upon a time bought a unipack not knowing anything about it, but then joined the forum summertime last year and realised that it was shit, and at first i just wanted to upgrade it to one day have something better and now under a year on and i've almost got my ideal bike! a happy story :), and i dont regret having the unipack it was part of the learning curve.
