I was in Brick Lane today & saw at least 5 Unipacks around the area . You guys have your work cut out .
I reckon there is a market for these things - To people that like the look of the cool FG/SS bikes, they see the Unipack as their only option as a new purchase . Wait till they start selling them in the Argos catalog as its only a matter of time -
Thought I'd add some new pics none of bikes just at work & around London

I'm an Aussie & I'm heading back to Sydney for good in 2 months . I have been in London for 2 1/2 years & have noticed that there is nowhere near as much road rage here as there was in Sydney . Many people are in a hurry to get everywhere with little regard for other road users especially cyclists .
That said I have also seen City cyclists plow into pedestrians on marked crossings numerous times as well in Sydney & London -

I actually have this same bike, except mine was made without the affiliation of Eddy Merckx.
I use it to ride to the about town as my backup bike, I had wanted to turn it into a relaxed 3 speed cruising bike with a large flatbed/basket on the front. But I havent been able to afford any parts, so out of desperation if put my fixed wheel on it because the original steel 5 speed wheel was badly dented. it feels enormous to ride and makes a good town bike.I dont get what it is with people who see a bike that looks really old, and assume throwing piles of £cash at it will turn it into a super urban fixie retro classic hipster hop race bike?
Its got DT swiss RR 1.2 rims on it which cost £50 each, yet its still running the original cotter cranks (which are better suited to the bike of course) this is one confused bicycle.

it could be yours!
I won the auction for this bike at £127 & I thought it was an OK deal . After some emails , the seller got back to me after 4 days saying that the bike was stolen yesterday . I'm now after my money back ..... dodgy or what . I'd be better off with a Unipak haha

I was also looking at those bikes but I always knew that although they may be an ok introduction bike , they are just a mass produced bike with inferior parts . As with many cheaper bikes , you'd end up by changing most of the bits through breakages anyway . Better off spending a little more or building your own
I'd be interested to hear from anyone that has one though ..... has it lasted ? -
