friend of mine bought a unipack/create thing. we constantly gave him grief for it. he paid £200 for it and we always suggested 2nd hand off ebay/gumtree.
the components on it are terrible and it weighed far too much. almost like it was made of scaffolding poles.
anyway, he was sprinting round a roundabout on it, the rear hub stripped the thread of the rear sprocket/hub fell apart somehow and he went flying.
hospitalised and a fucked face, knee, arms and bike. just a warning.
you can find some gems via gumtree, ebay etc
