Search Charge on this forum, i think there are a couple for sale.
In terms of Charge Plug's in general; i bought a racer a few weeks ago. It's my 4th fixed gear bike, and my first OTP. I absolutely fucking love it! Can't recommend one more. I did change the bars, stem, brake, lever, and pedals as soon as i got it. But everything else remains stock.
The geometry is great for around town, plus nice for tricks. Although i was surprised at the weight (much heavier than my Mercian, though that was to be expected), it took me all of 3 minutes to get used to it. Also, IMO the extra weight is balanced out by the fact that the bike is indestructible!
The only thing that i'm not keen on, is the fact that other fixengers look at me like i'm a novice whose just jumped on a band waggon and bought a Charge (which to some extent i am, i just jumped on the bandwagon a lot earlier than a lot/most of them). This is not so much a problem with the bike, but rather with me. I just want everybody to respect how cool i am!! :)
