I won't Hippy. Just read the threads and they sound terrible. May attempt to acquire a frame and convert or look at a Fuji.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks PJ's. I'm assuming the debating on Unipac is here so will take a look. My other option is a fuji Track if I push the budget a bit.

I saw those ones Hippy. Do you think something like that will hold up well? I heard stories of dodgy crank fittings.

Fred, you're right but how else will you find out who you're dealing with unless you push a little.

I shall check out the threads on the relevant subject and hopefully find a bike that's right.

Hope no-one's too pissed off. It wasn't intended.

But I'm a woman Will?!

Wow big daddy, you're masterful.

Not sleep-e.

Fred, I'm not arguing. This kinda conversation seems de rigeurre (sp?)

I quite like herbal tea.

All the time when I go to Boujis on a Saturday for a snakebite. Howd'ya know?

Hello Fred. I wasn't aware I had to sustain an attack for a certain length of time until retaliation.

Not very "real" is it?

Well, thank you gentlemen for your warm greeting to Fgss. I will be sure to recommend you to many and will no doubt be checking in from time to time with some frivolous "newbie" questions that are menial to the upper echelons of the "scene".

Thank you and good night.

The offence was a childish jab and I apologise.

No offense taken. However, surely you can appreciate the predicament I find myself in. As the uninitiated, I do not understand such acronyms as OTP and would therefore not have the knowledge to look at this thread. As I'm under the assumption that this site is part community, part a means to garner knowledge, I would assume you would be slightly more sympathetic to a bloke wet behind the ears on such matters.

Offence? I'm not on your fence.

I rest my case. Perhaps you are a fellow e collector.

My attitude was attuned entirely to the initial response I received - nothing more.

Where I hardly expect to be received with open arms as a new entrant, a small amount of civility is greatly appreciated. If it's not desirable for a new entrant to respond in the SAME manner that messages are received, then the website is nothing more than a boys club for the "in".

Suck it up.

And swearing is the last resort of the illiterate.

Oh, yeah - frost-e

I only bite once bitten.

604055 and RPM - thank you both for your insightful responses and I shall forge forth with great aplomb.

Well, we're pricks a plenty here, aren't we?

The original question was - in short -" is it possible to purchase a single speed for 300 quid that's not too shabby?"

Rather harmless in hindsight.

Oh, come on Platini - surely a small jab doesn't hurt, does it?

Anyone fancy answering my question?

Literate then. Good.

Well, if your living in flocks or fond of company, Platini, that may be the case.

604055 - either you're taking the piss or you haven't read the previous witty retorts of the Fgss crew (a "newbie" like me perhaps?)

It does seem a lot of money although I do assume that some peoples out-goings would be a hot topic around here.

Is it the done thing to be impressed by gregarious expenditure on bicycle parts? Is there a warm glow associated with such things?
