Nursery for New Members

Just want to look good ....just joking - I think like others on here I seem to spend a lot of time gathering and playing with bikes. I had 3 racers, now am down to 2. One I just use around London and I think this purpose wuld be much better suited to a single speed (less maintenance etc).

Also I just fancy a change/something new ....

Just tried testing a couple of bikes - from evans and halfords! ArghhH!

Evans had various sizes of Charge there - surprised to find that the small was a decent fit - thought I would be medium as I am 5'10. The bike was not as it should be - the fixed wheel cog was missing - hence a flip rather than a flip-flop!

Tried the Subway too - nothing wrong with it but did not feel as nice. It is basically a mountain bike with slicks - nothing against that but I was personally not looking for something that resembles a mountain bike.

Fan of the charge but will check out a couple of others.....

Good call, try as many as you can.

Ok, so this is a good idea.
Im new on this forum and I have to admit, if i was a rat trying to spam on forums, this has just pissed me off.
How do i tell i've been on this forum for atleast 24 hours?

at least 24 hours after you've been registered on the forum you can be sure that you've been on the forum for at least 24 hours..

Aye, but I registered a good week ago, I had come on the forum for a quick peek every now and again and well I have no clue how many hours its all added up to :/

Nursey eh?

Oh I thought I might find Michael Jackson here..

I believe he was seen here on friday having a stroke…!

As far as I know it's not cumulative of how many hours you've actually spent on the forum, just 24 from when you sign up.

Hi,

I wanted to find out more about buying a bike in a box. Have seen a Bike from Bikes 2U Direct, a Saracen Venturer 2 07 for £220. Will it be easy to assemble? Is it good value for money?

Can this company be trusted? Or should I stick to a local store?

Ideas?

I need the bike for the London to Cambridge run. At the moment I'm riding my 5 year old Challenge bike which I bought for only £80! It still goes okay, but I want a hybrid. My budget is £250.

Go to your local bike store and pick up a Giant or a Specialized hybrid.

There's plenty within your budget and they normally come with a free service after 3 months. If anything goes wrong with it or you have any niggles then you have a point of contact.

Or you could buy a fixed or singlespeed :^]

can we add an instruction along the lines of - do not buy a unipak or create bike, if you do expect to be laughed at, especially when it fucking falls apart

Yeah, I have to say that I did not know any better and was close to getting one.

.....saved by the forum!

*that was pointing at a spam message that was rapidly deleted. Let the twitching mangled corpse of that spam post serve as a warning to the others....

nursery = good idea... so many shite forums out there

Yes, fine forum. I went to the bike store recently, they are now selling flip/flop fixed gear/single speeds, ornate bicycles, £600 generally I would say...I do have a single speed set up...

I fixed up the Super Tourer I have, that must be the best route to go.

Fixed Gear gallery, whatever it is called websearch it on the net and look up any make of bike.

Stop posting shit to get out of the nursey..
