oh i knew this would spread like (create/unipack) shit.
So heres the story:
My friend had a budget of £200 for SS bike. He was after a 2ndhand.
Going through gumtree/ebay and BAM! found BRAND new bikes for £180.
SO we went to this place between portobello road and westbourne grove.
An australian guy with shit bikes. I was on Langster steel which was like loaf of bread in front of starved people for him. He showed many shit bikes. I told my friend not to buy any of them.
He went for a charge plug instead and is happy with it.
So the Australian goes on abt his 'brand new bikes' tells me proudly how he cheaply sources parts from Taiwan. Also tells me that he plans to open a shop and want to call it Caramel cycles :D
The moment we said we dont want to buy it he disappeared in 3 seconds.
I hated those bikes (and him) they are/were worse than Create.
Please dont buy ANYTHING.
