Unipack / Create / Sports Direct singlespeed track bikes?

These unipacks might get more people on the road but like anything that's too good to be true, it most likely is. Reading the kind of failures mentioned above I reckon it is only a matter of time before someone gets either seriously injured or worse, killed when their unipack has a catastrophic fail at the exact wrong moment. Any product that is commercially sold must be 'fit for purpose' by law, these things look not to be an could indeed be deemed illegal. Who knows, maybe there will be lawsuit on this one day.

IMO Rubbish like this is simply a crass waste of precious natural resources.

It's also anecdotally known that if people have a bad experience with a poor-quality bike, they are less likely to continue cycling than people with good-quality bikes who don't experience failure and don't have to buy another one.
