eBayd Plug Racer: 2nd Opinions Please?

Greasy Slag. I know you're on line. In the cold light of date, don't be too hard on me.

You know what. Despite my reservations (like: what if I buy a frame and can't get a decent BB because the threads are not current etc etc). I'm going to build.

Ha! i had a shit news day yesturday that got my back up and very glad i removed the last 5 lines of my post - i was getting pissed at these threads asking for opinions (too vague and shows no research) and not questions (shows thought and gets useful responses etc) but it's a personal thing

A good woman helps sort your head out..
and as it turns out i had a brainwave!

One of her editors has built up an old fold-up shopper bike for his missus, she can't be bothered to ride it and he now can't leave it alone. it's by far and away the best thing i have seen in a long time.

So i figured you need a bike that 1. Isn't likely to be stolen 2. Get onto public transport and 3. carries weight..

BING-fucking-O

It's perfect! in fact it's better than perfect. getting a full size bike on a train is a pain in the ass and pushing about is just annoying, it should only be done in around hoxton where the application of skinny jeans means you stride is dramatically reduced thus reducing pedal strike on your legs.
it has baskets/panniers so you don't get a hot back etc etc it's not a desirable item, it's cheap as you like and it can even be taken inside

it would also look wicked pimped up.. you could really go to town.

Tynan did a great job on one a while a go but i can't find the image!
