Charge Scissor

no i think the scissor bar-spins with the pedals in any position with a 700c

so guess the owner of that bike up there must just like the chopper look, why else would he put a smaller front wheel on it?

Bollocks, the delay sucks. Hopefully this will be the only one and it won;t be an on going thing. Bit of a shame that Charge decided to take care of our friends over the pond before their own scene.

The chainring and front wheel are just temporary i think untill new wheel is built (700c)

It may be partly down to Winstanleys aswell... I ordered my Cutter V3 from Winstanleys and at first they said it would be in stock and posted to me in a week, it in the end took over a month, yet they were available on other websites.

dunno, looking at the picture it dosnt look like it would spin with a 700 in any position does it, might have been the volume Thrasher i was thinking of

Yeah I'd heard mixed stories about them before but the price was too good to refuse and the guy on the phone was really helpful. Wiggle have been saying end February since before xmas so I don't think it will be available anywhere soon.

Rang Charge and they said end of this week,

Freeflow bikes in scotland are selling them on there website, they said they expect them mid to the end of next week

Got an email off Evans Cycles saying next 3/4 weeks

Winstanley's in long wait and bullshit about stock availability shocker!

US maybe got them 1st coz the slow boat from wherever they're welded up goes there 1st?

Thinking i might order one next time i'm in work. If the trade price is nice enough.

Anyone up on what charge sizes equate to coz these come small, medium and large right?

Im 6'2 and riding a 58cm fuji just now but definatley want something smaller. I'm thinking medium?

no the other charge frames are S M L but the scissor only comes in 2 sizes 52 and 54.5

Front wheel is temporary i was reading somewhere.

i think its somewhere in this thread actually :)

sorry.

You know thinking about it, the Charge Scissor not only make an affordable polo bike that'll take the abuse, but it look like it'd make a nice 29ers (obviously with different fork).

yeah i think its a really nicely designed, affordable and adaptable bike. i love it :)

+1

Shame it's only available in the sizes "tiny" and "tinyer"

58cm tt is hardly tiny

Agree, I would take it straight off road. That is why I am tempted by it, I like trackish bikes off road but the tyre size is compromised so this looks perfect (with the scissor fork). I find MTB frames too long and sloppy.
Will probably buy one if they ever decide to sell them anywhere!

Not sure the 29er mtb crowd would be converted, they would go off mumbling about mud clearance, no disk brake mounts etc,.

58cm tt is hardly tiny

I know I know. I'm just mad because it's too small for me!

I wish there was a OTP "trick" frame that was available in 60cm or so.

has anyone got hold of the frame or forks yet? i ordered the forks for my cutter from winstanleys and they said it would be the end of the month, i just received this today

This is a courtesy email to inform you of the progress of your order:

i was quoted by charge that the scissor forks, in both colours would be with them at the end of the month. which will be useful as a van destroyed my forks on monday.
