• SE Lager Frame?

  in Bikes & Bits • 11 years, 6 months

  

  Is the SE Lager 2012 any good? It seems to have a better frame than the 2013 version.

  I've found somewhere selling it for £275 in the gold frame (looks sweet)

  Anyone have one can guide me on the sizing? I'm 5'8" with 29" inside leg, I'm guessing either the 52cm (might be a bit small) or the 54cm.

  Any help appreciated.

  Cheers

• All-City Nature Boy for Fitness riding?

  in General • 11 years, 6 months

  

  Hey guys,

  I am looking at picking up an All-City Nature Boy to use for fitness rides, I have a few questions out there for those that own one.

  I know it's set up as a cyclocross bike by default with 32c tyres, what are the thinnest tyres it'll take?

  Is the gear ratio okay for riding on roads?

  Does it have mudguard eyelets?

  Is it better than the Big Block? The Big Block seems to be more of a track bike whereas the Nature Boy can do pretty much anything.

  Is the frame good? I want a Steel frame but I'm unsure on the quality of this one.

  Any downsides to the complete bike? (crap parts etc?)

  Many thanks!

  If I plan on riding with brakes should I look at the FXE?

  Also does anyone have a definitive list of the best components you can use to build one of these things?

  Looking at the options I'm a lil blown away...

  Cheers

  Nah, it's not me mate.

  You have to admit it looks nice though, he's probably added a premium because he knows how popular they are.

  I don't think the NYPD guy was trying to cross, looked like he was lining himself up to take him down.

  It looks as if he tried to take a few others out but they dodged him.

  I thought Steel bikes were meant to give a more responsive ride?

  How does the Bowery compare to other OTP fixed gear bikes when it comes to Weight?

  I want a light bike, was looking at the Charge Plug but heard it was quite a heavy bike.
