• first, i read through all of it here and saw you moved away from a potentially big mistake already, but i want to put this down for other lurkers to have it connected to your decision finding process in this thread as well.

    i got me one of those unipack/create fully conscious it'll be a bit on the cheap side and to tell the truth, it was much, much worse!
    here is whot it takes to get it rideable savely, here is whot came out of it a bit later and let me point out, the last bit, being the frame, broke under my arse due to the wrong size seatpost being installed in the 'factory'.

    sure i rode the shit out of it, sure i liked my bike, one get's attached to things you spend so much time thinking about fixing it up and all, but i'd never ever recommend one to a beginner. i'd hesitate to recommend it to a pro with a full set of tools as they are that unsave.

    bikes look similar on the outside, but all the money goes into better steel, lighter tubing, quality steel/machined bearings and alloy parts, properly cut threads that hold bolts for critical components as wheels, handlebars and forks, a set of sprockets that are round and parts, that are produced to standards, so that in case of wear and tear are replaceable without replacing half the bike to fit a single standard part on it.

    follow the edvices on here, they are good beginner's bikes and give KHS bikes a look as well.

    These are the new age unipack bike the dodgy guy is selling
