Need help on deciding what to buy as a first ever ss/fg bike

Yeah, there is another one on the discussion area.

Don't buy a leader

Unless you want mine

Go on.

Amazing, absolutely amazing!!!

Depends how much you're selling it for. And is it the 725?

Amazing, absolutely amazing!!!
lol, i don't get it. What's amazing?

Anyone got anymore useful advice?

Anyone else got any useful advice?

You're beautiful just the way you are.

lol, why is everyone so shocked that a 14 year old rides fixed..?

I'm feeling something, but it ain't shock.

It is a 725 in size 51 but I wouldn't get your hopes up cause I can't sell it until I have my new frame which will probably be in about 4 months

But seriously the geometry is crap, unless you have a long torso and arms but short legs
But good luck with your search

^further grooming

charge plug reasonable price and ride. mines still going after 3 years and I'm a tank. throw some proper bars on it tho.

that's gone well past grooming hahaha

lool, thanks ok123, i am wayy to tall for a 51 cm leader. And thank you ruffstuff, yeah the charge plug keeps on catching my eye. Also i have been keeping my eye out for fuji track bikes. I think if i could get a fuji track bike for a decent price then that would be ideal because fuji make some decent track bikes.

I'm sorry but i have NO idea what you guys are talking about. :(

Do you have a friend with a cup?

Excellent.

Do you have a friend with a cup?

As has been said time and time again, find all the ones you can afford and like the look of, test ride all of them and buy the one that fits best and makes you smile the most.
Simples.

Thank you, plain and simple.

Shops don't mind you test riding their bikes even if you're not gonna buy. Try em in a real shop, then buy online for cheap.
Some of the big chains do price match online stores though.

It's ok...Some People forget just how low their humour has gotten...and Ass-ume...what a 14 yr olds Brain works like,.,.

Gohan. There are some really cheap Bikes on here in the last week or two...ride away...lots of fun. Have a look at something that is light...the difference between a couple of kilos will be noticed if you aren't particularly heavily built...that may change after you have been riding fixed for 6 months... tho for now...

Spend the £150 on something built...there have been a few amazing bikes for very little money in the last few weeks...especially the last 10 days...I remember one being stupidly cheap for what it was...70's track frame, terrible paint...tho essentially an amazing whip, with some old charge wheels or something equally cheap...light, whippy, and rolls well.

Go for ratt...you can pick up an very good frame with wheels for about £150...as you ride it save your pennies and in 3 months you can afford a better wheel...or pair if you are lucky...

then after 6 months...you can get mario to paint the frame...and hey presto...you have a really nice bike...within 9 months maybe sooner you will have got better bars, saddle, tyres etc...

thats the far cheapest and easiest way...and still have you riding over summer...

buy as good a quality, as your £150 will get you...ie 531 or better...with a crappy finish...you get all the best bits of riding a frame that in amazing condittion...would be £250...

Search the for sale thread properly there was a super cheap bike on her a few days ago...nice track frame, ok wheels, ratty as hell...£150...I'm sure of it...anyhow if it's not here...look for something similar...Mattais had a Concorde that was lush with Galli gruppo you could have kept if you wanted to gear it later, that was for £100 eventually...add cheap pair fo fixed wheels as have been many the last few days...and you have a nice conversion that later...when you get a track frame proper...you can then have as your road bike...

That way ...regardless...you are riding...the weather is just turning good....which is ace...tho a shame as loads of idiots have just dragged their bikes from the cupboard and riding like....

Anyhow...if you trawl the threads...you'll find something, if you are in London then loads of people can offer you help as how to string what you have parts wise together...or better...buy a ratter...~Get Riding...and worry about what it looks like as you go along...

Get some old cheap Steel...its a lot more fun to ride than Aluminium, and is a lot more durable.

A good chrome carlton popped up this avo for £50~posted ...which is silly money...add wheels £60...pair...and some other bits...you have a nice old bike that will ride so well...
If you wanted newer, then someone had some good ali frames with forks ther other day too...£80 I think...you maye still build it for £150...

You don't say what your brother has, that you have been riding?

Is that the sort of advice you wanted?
