Charge Bikes

Jim@ChargeBikes ... there is no toe overlap...

Oh yeah?:

id like to see some reviews, mabey an honest comparioson of all the off the peg bikes alot of us own, met up, swap bikes for a bit do some rideing, and then sit down and talk out a review.

Vegans, that's a great idea. It'd be fun to have a crack on other bikes as well.

I'm up for it and can bring along an '07 Condor Pista.

Maybe we could meet near HH and then do some track action afterwards, one Thursday evening?

I'll offer my services for photography.....

sounds a good idea i'd like to try a few other track bikes see how they feel i kind of think i know about geometry etc when it comes to frames but to experience a twitchy bike over someone just telling you its twitchy would be good
i'll bring my cannondale track

ill turn up on my only bike... its a 70s fuji road convert, but if any one wants a go...

Someone needs to bring a pedal spanner and set of allen keys for seapost adjustments.

I always carry enough tools to sink the QE2

ill bring mine as well alway sgood to have spares...

Could have sworn there was a more up-to-date thread on these...

Have charge sorted their sizing out?
I have a tiny friend who's 5"4 and wants a charge racer.
