For Sale: Charge Hob Mixte 2012 Red - Medium

Save me from my mistakes!

What we have here is a 2012 Charge Hob Mixte bike. I cannot count the ways in which I love this bike but more importantly, I cannot count the way in which I love my girlfriend and so since I've made the most frustrating of all errors and bought her a bike that is too large, it must go.

It's a medium which I'd say it suitable for most girls above about 5'5".

Cherry red with sparkles, single speed with full metal mudguards and the hairy bits still on the tyres.

To say that it's unridden is an understatement. It has been built and momentarily perched upon.

I bought it for £300 and really can't face losing too much money since I'm going to have to fork out for a replacement.

£SOLD

I'm based in South East London and will accept PM's and cash.
It's going to be sunny this weekend so please, pretty please make yourself and/or your girlfriend smile!

thats actually quite pretty, tho I do wish they would put prettier forks on them. If you swapped those out for some chrome tange it would be really pretty. bump anyhoo...

As far as off the peg single-speed bikes for women go, I personally don't think it gets any better than this!

I have one (size S being 5"5') people love the look of it. It makes a great fixie and a great single speed for town cruising, recommend.

And the new ones are white...get this one :)

How heavy are these?

Thanks, Westland! I am just about to take delivery of a Small size now so all the more reason to get this one out the house.

I meant to say that the bike will also come with the additional items that shipped with it: a fixed cog and lockring, reflectors, chainguard and small jar of red paint so you can touch up any chips that may appear on the frame over time - a very nice touch indeed!

Separation - I don't have a set of scales to check but I was surprised by it's lightness. Definitely in line with a normal hybrid, if not a little lighter due to the lack of gearing. I'd estimate around the 12kg mark.

Mixtes are so amazing. If I didn't have a self-imposed bike buying ban on at the moment then I'd be all over this :(

Mine is 10.5 KG with SPDS and front brake only.

If yours has luggage rack braze ons it a good commuting bike too on flat/moderate hills

Come on does nobody want this? :)

£279 for a sunny Sunday buyer! Make a lady smile, even if that lady is yourself.

Pleasantly surprised - that is a looker.

Lots of bike too for £279 - hope it sells.

Going to put this eBay on Sunday (21st) unless you or someone you know wants to take it. If you're collecting, I'd be more willing to accept offers.

Thanks for looking!

wow! wish i have the money now as the missis will love this!

Hi paramounted double check Ruthland doesn't have one of their scratched Hobs on e-bay as might sour your deal. (How I got mine) and ensure you offer postage as I've seen Hobs goes for quite low otherwise.

Now that's the unwanted advice out of the way, where did you get the red paint? Came with bike I guess? I could use some :(

Hi paramounted, I was looking for a Charge Hob 3 or Hob and just found your ad (thanks to a good friend who linked me to lfgss!). I just moved to London and miss a good bike. Your Hob looks great, is it still available? Since I'm new to the forum, I can't yet PM you.

Hello there, Catoe. Feel free to up your post count and then PM me when you can.

Ok paramounted, I'll try to send you a PM later tonight (have to wait 24 hours because of the anti-spam system rules from lfgss..).
