Unipack / Create / Sports Direct singlespeed track bikes?

Hi reeem,

just wondering...how much did all the parts cost?

wtf? you really rub it in, don't ya?! and name is reeen, much like the queeen. i never made a list really. it was all bit by bit wise so it was possible/bearable for me to fix and ...hmm, some may say pimp it a little.
so let's see:
-BB shimano part with installation 30,- at magic bikes (due to unknown size, i know now ... 110mil)
-Deda stem 16,- + shim 1,- (John Smith's can from offlicense ;)
-kmc chain 12,-
-fsa head set 12,-
-spokes 36,- + black nipples 5,-
-Xposure brake lever (pair) 11,-
-shimano 450 brakes (pair) 25,-
-tyres, tubes 50,-

• "BLB suginos" in gloss black with coloured screws 73,-
  
  

that's to get it to a milehungry state, wopping 241,- or so.

last parts went down on the bill after 1600 miles and are more due routine maintenance replacements and/or personal preference:
-hub service and repack with new bearing cages+races front and skf bearings rear 16,- (including a spare axle, you never know!)
-saddle charge knife 40.-
-cinellie bartape 7,-

given the bike came in on 90quid (still a lot IMFO) so ja, not cheap but not as much as some ppl spend on the cranks alone, i guess.
by the looks of it, all moving parts are so low quality and badly aligned that they don't hold up some serious miles on a commute, let alone abuse. 98% of the mechanical important moving parts have been changed within the first 2(BB!) to 400 or 500 mi after their destruction and that is totally unacceptable.

nice project for me, learned a lot, especially that there are pricy bike parts out there for a reason. in case of newbieness or general cluelessness, go for entry level/lower middle level priced parts and find out how long they'll do it for you before splashing out while maybe riding like puss. (that is the case if you still didn't snap the chain ;)

see you out there,
ride conscious, ride save!
