Cycling Plus test of the Unipack

So buy cheap bike, spend extra cash just to make it rideable? Sounds silly. Even though I have just done exactly the same thing. I am hoping the fuji is slightly better quality though.

Having said that, it sounds like a challenge. I'd almost want to ride one and see how long it lasts before it dies.

As long as it's safe I don't have a problem. It's probably closer to what bikes should cost anyway.

Don't you get the same conundrum with most things though. E.g. i bought a Genesis Flyer in the summer but was umming and ahhring over the Willier Pista, it came down to the fact that pista was £300 more expensive. The sales pitch was pretty much "you could buy the Flyer, but you would have to spend at least £300 if not more to get it to the same spec as the Pista" This may be true, but if my budget only stretches to a Flyer, then that's all it stretches too.
