For sale is my Charge Plug fixie gear skiddy bike. (yes it comes with barspin)
Size medium
Needs posting, I'm in Newcastle.
Looking for £370
Nothing wrong with it, its actually really solid and great fun to ride, but it's set up as a trick bike, and I don't need a trick bike, cause I can't/don't do tricks. Have been using it to commute on and it's decent for short ~5mile rides.
Condition of everything is very good, wheels are practically new, very true. Frame is fine, there are 2 chips in the paint I think, one near the head tube on the top tube and I forget where the other is. Both are just paint chips though and don't go down to the metal.
Everything else is fine, bearings all good, seat is old and scuffed but its a turbo so it's still mint. Front tyre is fine, rear is starting to go a bit square, but hasn't worn through yet.
The pedals and straps come with the bike but are a bit of a bodge. The pedals have had the sides hammered out to fit the velcro straps in and the straps are the first version of my home made velcro ones. They're fine and work well but the stitching is coming away so they can't really be adjusted anymore.
Any other stuff just ask.
Spec is:
Charge Plug frame, around '08 I think, size medium. It measures about a 59cm from centre bb to top of seat tube, but I'm 5'10 and its fits fine, I usually ride a 55/54.
DMR Trailblade 2 forks, the ones with no mounts for any brakes.
Atom lab bars and stem, oury grips.
Charge dish white wheelset.
Sugino RD/Messenger cranks or whatever comes on a normal plug.
Turbo saddle white.
