From one newbie to another, I purchased an SE Lager a few months ago and was pretty underwhelmed with the quality, mostly of the cheaply made Chinese manufactured parts, but as a basic ride, it was pretty fun, and I guess, reliable (not to mention, pretty ugly). It was pretty quick and the flip-flop hub was a nice surprise, but, after a month I got my act together and realised I could sell the thing off, and build one up for half the price, and claim my smug-riddled spot among these wankers, (who, by the way, couldn't help mentioning - everytime - that SE makes BMX bikes, not, usually, single speeds). But it appears you've gone with that Halford's beast, stay away from East London, or you'll forever be second guessing your purchase. But with that said, welcome to your new obession.
