Unipack / Create / Sports Direct singlespeed track bikes?

yeah, the first ones were def SS.

The one that the forum bought was definitely SS only.
To be fair I wouldn't believe the ebay listing as it also calls the unipack a NY Messanger bike.

To be fair I have seen at least 1 messenger riding a unipack or a bike that looked identical but wasn't so shit. Or possibly a very impressive Fakenger complete with radio and cooties.

I'm purposely trying to make my bike less mechanically sound than a Unipack through time on bike and general abuse. Wish me well!

I've emailed the seller about the lockring..

And all you specialist riders who want to put a fixed cog on it, it's simple.

ha the whole fucking thing is laughable.

God told me to buy a unipack.

about us....

We are specialists in bargain Bikes, Toys and Games and most of our goods are End of Line, Ex-Display or Returns from Mail Order and High Street Shops.

Bob's been with us for years, the type of guy who's had his own toolbox since kindergarten and tinkered on anything and everything for years - his dads old lawn mower engine, his aunties toaster, his neighbours boiler - whatever the item, I strongly suspect that Bob has had it in pieces one bit at a time, analysed it, understood it and put it back together so perfectly that you would never even know he'd touched it.

tru.

"These bikes are the trendiest and latest craze since sliced bread!!!"

I didn't know sliced bread was trendy or a craze.
Guess you miss out on some stuff growing up in the country.

you never wore allinson earrings? pikey.

monster munch rings.

Response regarding lockring..

"yes it is a flip flop - no it does not hold a lockring"

sweet.

Told you so.

takes a sprocket tho, seen a photo on the internets, must be true.

Any threaded freehub body will take a trackcog. It's called a suicide hub for a reason though.

Very glad I came across this thread - don't know anything about fixies (yet!) so this looked pretty attractive for the price. I'll be spending my hard-earned pennies elsewhere though I think...

A wise decision.

well done on actually investigating the unipack before purchasing it, unlike thousand of buggers who went and brought one.

Haha, cheers. Do have to say that they don't look bad to the un-initiated (apart from the awful colour schemes)... I rather suspect that the local dumps will be seeing a fair few of these in the near future.

i saw two matching black and red ones with matching volcom stickers, locked up outside the new volcom shop on earlham street today.
hmmm....

£150 bikes - this time with black saddle

If you don't use real words, you're not lying!

I dont mean to be unsympathetic to this guy but what kind of bike do you think you are gonna get for 150 notes? Even 200 notes? If you bought a brand new car and it cost £3000 would n't you be suspicious of it's reliability?

there are rigid MTB costing between £150-200 that actually perform reasonably well, and came with warranty and shit, if you got it from Evans, you'll guarantee to get summat repaired if something broke for free.

These unipack shouldn't have broke down easily, take a look at the Schwinn Cutter and SE Draft, I may not have ridden them but they're reliable bike for less than £200 (via US sadly), they're probably not that good, but undoubtly a million miles better than the unipack.

£150-200 should get you a reliable bike, the unicack is just not it, the worse thing is, the unipack look like a decent bike, and that's why people are buying them beside the 'unique' colour that most brand OTP bike don't do.
