Charge Scissor

Shut up, Joao...

It is only a drop.out on a trick-frame.
It happened to me already... And I know the Caped Crusader has been waiting
for months for that frame, in Lisbon!... which makes it a bit more waiting for
something that, really..., can be resolved in minutes.
I'm picky as fuck, so probably would just send it back... but that's me.

^^^I can't understand what I just wrote...

In that case... Shut up, nuknow... ;]

^^But that one is Adults only... : (

ahahah I love this forum.

I'll send it back if they pay for the shipping, or if they send UPS or whatever to pick it up. I cannot accept a damaged frame when I payed it brand new. It's a matter or principles.

And I know it's just a fucking dropout. but i want that dropout fucking NEW.

OR, i can send it back and they refund me + the shipping i'll pay to send it back.

either way, the frame will be here gathering dust, since the wheels i'll be building for it are far from ready... so, i don't mind the wait to get it new... but if wiggle takes too long to answer me (i've forwarded the first mail again yesterday), i'll just pay the damn shipping and return it! I can't accept such bad service from them... i even sent them the bloody pictures!

yes, because the frame is bleeding from the dropout...

or, i'll just hammer the fucker down. ^___^

to end its misery.

It is worth phoning them isn't it, if you can find a current phone number?

I wanna build my first fixed gear but i don't know much about 'em
anyone reckon this would be good f+f to start with?
i noticed it doesn't have brake mounts which might be a problem for learning?
should i just buy the frame and get different forks with brake mounts?
(first post, sorry for the newbie-ness)

Mate, convert a road bike for your first one...!

don't own any form of bike
is that still the best option?

then do what propeller said, cover an old road bike (like Peugeot, Raleigh, etc.) to see if you like it, it's also very cheap (providing that you managed to find a fully build old road bike for £30ish that all you need to do is just get a back wheel with a fixed hubs, etc.)

consult Sheldon Brown for tips and advice.

orite thanks
best place to pick a bike up?

eBay

Jumbles

cool i'll have a rummage through the eBaymachine and see what i can get me, thanks

also, i'm guessing a conversion will be pretty useless for learning some basic tricks on right?

shouldn't make any difference. The scissor and frames like it are mainly different because they are built to be a bit stronger. Hopping, doing wheelies etc,. can be done on any bike.
The trick bike geometry may help a bit but not to the point where you cannot do things on other bikes, especially basic tricks.

Sorry if I am wrong but, you want a fixed wheel trick bike correct?
You have looked at the scissor and liked it, its marketed as a freestyle frame or something...and thats what you want to do.
Dont dable around the idea of asking about doing tricks on a conversation and stuff, just get it.
Or do you want something simple to get around on?

good point if that is what is really wanted. Worth noting it does have brake drillings front and back although would need some massive drop brakes.

yeah that is what i want. you meant conversion right? and no i don't. I might ride it into school-which is only a 10 minute walk anyway-but i really want to learn tricks. I was also reading that i will probably want to buy a new bike soon after my conversion if i like fixed-gear, and i can't see why i shouldn't like it, altough you never know. anyway surely i could sell the scissor on ebay for the same/similar amount i bought it for since its a fairly new frame, if i didn't like it all?
