Testing the account.

Yup, seems to be in order.

being in nursery brings back memories

Pissed yourself then? Ah happy days ;)

hey, i'm pretty new to this but am just looking for a nice single speed bike i can buy in good condition. I'm not a hipster and I've learnt through others mistakes to not call them 'courier bikes'! I just need some advice and direction into not buying a complete death-trap so i can cycle to work. Any ideas anybody? Thanks in advance.

oh ideally in london also!

Don't buy a unipack or a create. What's your budget?

not massive amounts. prob up to £300-ish though if i could get something cheaper all the better. I'll have a look at the search now though Mr Balki. Thanks a fucking lot!

haha... nice.

Keep an eye on the classifieds.

after a bit of skulking about on the forums i've come across this place.

The first answer is correct, the second will lead to regret.

ta very much, i will give it a wide berth in that case.

Bit of a headache finding a bike but patience is a virtue I guess. It's a potential minefield with lots of people trying to just rip others off. I'm just desperate not to buy a deathtrap, oh and get ripped off. Thanks for the advice though, i'll keep an eye on the classified.

cheers

or look in the OTP thread and search for it in there.

hey, utterly new to this, just bought a single speed (gumtree, doh) - 1. chain snapped. 2. Closer inspection (why didn't I inspect closer before buying, dohdoh) - front chainset teeth down to gums, rear cog not in any way aligned.
Should I just write it off, or get new back wheel & front chainset? And - is that all you have to do? Buy rear wheel, put on bike - or is there something more technical than that?
(I did say I'm a total newbie)
