Unipack / Create / Sports Direct singlespeed track bikes?

i cannot believe the number of people who say shit like " my create/ unipak is ok. in 2 months i have had to replace every cunting part on the damn thing, if the frame snapped then it would now be all new parts. but it was a good place to start cycling"

ffs a 2nd hand bike for a similar price would not have had so many mechanicals and would cost a lot less in the long term

anyone who defends them is a fucking idiot who does not have any idea of what a proper bike is like to ride or is capable of

Many second hand bikes are pre-stolen.

You make your choices.

you all saved my £200 thanks.

Awesome!!!
Now find a real bike here

not suprising.

probably a repost but heres the cycling plus review! "Fantastic value and great fun, but with some issues"

they soooooo need a punch in the nuts/tits for printing that rubbish,,,? some issues?

I'm not trying to rub anyones face in it...however total failure of some of the most important parts...isn't 'some issues'...

some issues...thats such a crock!!!

im gettin rid of mine after trying to defend it just because of the fact that its my bike and i used to like it..the rear hub went on me again. fuckin cunt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good god I wish I had found your site sooner!!!
Bought one of these last week as my first dalliance into the world of fixed wheel cycling and so far nothing has gone wrong, but after reading all the bad press on these bikes I have already booked it into my local shop for a new BB, freewheel & chain, prevention better than cure I suppose!!

ive got £300 should i buy a create frame and build up parts around it?

no.

yes.

everyone who has one thinks they are brilliant

the naysayers are just jealous

why no
?

im told the bottom bracket goes really easily

they are brilliant and if you are just buying the frame you can put in a phil wood bottom bracket

Don't listen to DJ, he's trying to wind you up. They are the worst bikes in the history of the world. But if you had UTFS you might have learnt that...

dont use the search, its lies, they are amazing

James is being sarcastic (rather than helpful tut, tut). Create have an awful reputation; for £300 you could find many much better frames; in fact whole bikes. Type Create or UniPak (same thing) into search up there^.

i am trying to be nice, helpful and supportive, this kid can barely write, so needs all the help he can get

lies, lies, lies, just cos its on the intewebz does not make it true

people like these bikes so much they try to put others off having them

or perhaps i now just consider that people riding these pieces of shit without doing a basic search for themselves deserve to have a piece of shit bike

James, I think you are taking the whole "be nice to the noobs" thing a bit far.

markr - "well done or rare?"

prepares the flamethrower

Blue please.

theres a guy who rides a unipack frame with a nice set of tubs on it at herne hill..... i get nervous when i'm behind him.

hasn't fallen apart yet though.
