Charge Plug

So, i´m new to FG/SS and i have looked into the Charge Plug and it looks awsome as bike for me to break into this kind of cycling, i´m 187.7cm, thats between 6'1 - 6'2, should i get a Large size then? i have got some long arms on this body to.
And will it hold my weight as i´m on the heavy side of life, about 110kg.

Charge plug frames are bomb proof mate, you will be fine.

anyone else thinks that the handlebars are plain ugly?

I quite like the handlebars, unless I'm alone on that?

I'm going to go and buy some flat bars though for city riding before long.

I love the bullhorns on the plain plug, so I got a set for my plug grinder:

I've found it really comfortable to use.

Is this really what I think it is?
A shit frame re-made in Ti for the sum of 1400 or so Gold Nuggets?
If so, what on earth has happened to the world, and why on earth would anyone get one. A bleedin full custom Ti Burls is cheaper.

In the immortal words of CoppiThat:
Have I missed something!?

this?

how is the charge plug a shit frame?

Its not, its just not vintage, lo pro or custom made!
Ey Harry?! ;)

They are really good frames, not sure why this was made thought, I have seen them around for a while...

I agree with you on this, seems a bit pointless, I can only imagine it appealing to people who have jumped on to some form of bandwagon, and want to flash cash to show their commitment.

but I dont think Charge are a big enough brand name to appeal to that kind of market.

I was a bit harsh to the Charge folks in that thread, sorry for the vulgarity. But I still think a Ti plug is pretty silly.

^i'm guessing they made like, 10 frames. never seen it available on wiggle, always 'sold out'

bear in mind it's double butted, rather than plain gauge titanium that usually cost about £750ish (like the Burls).

it's a normal price for an OTP titanium frame frankly.

its a pointless exercise but the plug isnt a shit frame in anyway, if you want titanium theres obviously better options

It is shit.
The geometry couldn't be much more horrible if they tried, and they haven't changed it for this, amazing. Design a frame with crap geo and then remake it in a stupidly expensive material, for all those people that like really expensive frames with shit geometry. Good plan.

Ed: Its not the price really, its the fact its a fucking plug, and it could be made of gold dust and it would still be shit.

DFP: I did search. label your threads better. :P
But ha. Good read. What a stupid frame.

Harry? where can I go to get myself measured in order to get a custom frame made by you?

Re-fucking-post...

puts Harry on ignore

Just off Dover Cliff.

Particularly like the "I love skid marx" on the chainstay... classy.

SHUT UP, it doesn't say that does it?! Is it for eleventeen year olds?

Someone better organise a forum bulk buy then!

ha

what kind of idiot has a ti fixed gear bike?

muptards

I met a guy on a Ti Plug near west polo once - he seemed happy with it & didn't pay RRP.
I didn't realise geometry was such a bugbear for you harry... you plonker.

Yeah, what do Charge know about bikes...

i was told that the manager of a branch of evans had broken his ti plug

cannot vouch for accuracy of the information
