• Buy cheap, buy twice

    and utfs

  • Wot, and typing at the same time?

    That is proper multi tasking.

    Tis. Thanks.

    #dedicated forumonger.

  • Oh yeah....Its not like you cant buy the same components on brick*lane*bikes on internet traders from china from the same manufacturer for 1/100th the price for 100 units.....Just as well the logo cost 40 smacks.

    Albz, it is pretty rough and tumble on this forum. Most rookies get a good kicking to start with, if they make some fatal error, only known to the long timers.

    However, sneak along to one of the drinks, and you will be pleasantly surprised with the good natured and supportive atitude of the members, when met face to face.

  • ^ Lies, the drinks are a front for organ harvesting. Be afraid.

  • I do enjoy a good banter over bike bits..Not whilst being eyed up for a kidney transplant.

  • We're alright really. Turn up, drink, talk shite, drink more, talk more shite then ride home!

    What more could you want to do with your weekday evenings?

  • ^ Lies, the drinks are a front for organ harvesting. Be afraid.

    Apart from livers. Those are all fucked.

  • lol, the livers get thrown out the back with the create frames.

  • Pretty much the majority of all parts on the market are manufactured in China..Taiwan.. then rebranded over here, (forget about america and japan). The idea of material superiority is either brand enforced or a reflection of the user's opinion. You all must agree that Create has created (sorry for that) a brand identity, of which people are buying for the look of the bike rather than the performance, function, consideration of the product intended purpose (of which due to the nature of materials and processes used the create bike pretty much has none except mild/leisure cycling).
    I am aware of the concept that money buys you what you pay for.....Its not like my carbon bianchi appeared from the sky. Surely the create fills a requirement and market gap, other wise they would not exist.

    Upon reflection, I can fully understand all the comments made.. and from previous thought processes know that a bike on the 'bay would be more substantial than a create. Just wanted to feel the views toward and find out why they thought this.

    Sooooo, If a brand appeared on the market, with a bike aimed at the £350 bracket with no named parts on it but looked the absolute tits....would you be intrigued?

    their "market requirement" is this: cashing in on the radical "fixie scene" with bikes that seem to be good value for money and look great (apparently).
    that is the sole purpose of a create bike, to look good (dubiously) on a bike that has no gears. they are purely fashion items. its like fake ralph lauren, from a distance it looks alright but then the label says "rolph laverne" and the logo is someone riding a cow. the stitching will fuck up, it wont fit properly and will be terribly made.

  • Thank your lucky star that you actually got the wit and calamity to purchase a Charge Plug in the first place (of which is an excellent bike).

  • Super joe, you are right.......But wont the Rolph Laverne be bought, worn, and catch a few eyes?

    The create will be ridden, fall part, but in the process make a non bike educated person happy in the process? (before the falling apart)

  • create bikes looks horrible.

  • also, I don't buy this 'it'll make people happy' bull.. If the bike is utter shit and falls apart then it's more likely to put people off cycling.

  • Super joe, you are right.......But wont the Rolph Laverne be bought, worn, and catch a few eyes?

    You'll look like someone who's trying to look like they have money and wanted the rest of the world to know.

    don't.

  • Super joe, you are right.......But wont the Rolph Laverne be bought, worn, and catch a few eyes?

    The create will be ridden, fall part, but in the process make a non bike educated person happy in the process? (before the falling apart)

    All jesting apart, key component failure can be a calling card for A&E, as well as a real inconvenience if you are trying to get to work or college.

  • You have a decent enough/not too flashy bike already. Use it.

  • create bikes are shit, look shit and could potentially cause you a lot of damage.
    avoid.

  • Edscoble, after realising how good my first plug was, I bought another.

    These bikes do have to meet regulations Bernie.

  • Merge time

  • ^ Lies, the drinks are a front for organ harvesting. Be afraid.

    Well done Gav, scaring off the Newbies. There goes our fresh meat for Saaf drinks tomorrow night.

    And what's all this commercial nonsence about organ harvesting?

  • Regulations vs experience. I prefer to go on experience personally

  • These bikes do have to meet regulations Bernie.

    The Create bike doesn't have quality control.

    some buold managed to hold up to more than five minutes, some imploded under your scrotum, some impregnate your mother.

    it's still best to avoid.

  • have you considered a foffa?

  • Just looked at the foffa. Not really any difference on the frames they build up compared to the create. Only named components pumping the price up. Looking good though.
