I got one in the Wiggle sale too, put some better tyres on it and it's a fun ride, if a tad harsh for steel. Tried a few different ratios between about 68" and 75" and didn't find it particularly sluggish.
One thing I do find a bit daft with Charges is the fact that they have huge clearances for thick tyres but no mudguard eyelets or bottle bosses - i'd have thought the desire for clean lines would go hand in hand with tight clearances. Then again I know precisely fuck all about bicycle design.
Got a Fuji Track frame last week tho and instantly prefer it.
