they don't really have a shop number, just go and check it out, it's worth the trip

i'm based in the north east lol need to call and see if they can do me a build under thec2c scheme for 800 and what i'd get for that.

anyone got a number that gets through? called the number from this thread but no pick up at any time.

yeh my first fix, 800 loc means about 560 by the end and it'll be cheaper in long run if i get it right. means i wont need to spend hard earned upgrading in the future on the expensive things. may as well take the oppertunity to get a good bike while i can get the savings.

agree with the modding thing lol

thats the thing i'm pretty new to this and know that i'll be spending more on changing out things so trying to get the best i can now but my experience is none.

the more i research the more i'm confused lol and the bug has bitten even before i've got my bike!

i get your point... really what i'm asking is as i'm new to this, is the Condor as well equiped as say something i'd get from a place like 14? what i dont want to be doing is switching out components becuase they fail in time.

hi guys, well i've bene hectic at of late and havent gotten round to getting a bike, good job really as the cycle2work scheme opened this week again at work so am getting a £800 Loc to spend.

i'm advised by others who have had this at my workplace i can spend it wherever accepts it.

i was looking to get the Condor Potenza in black and white with risers and a few extra's or something built for me.

question is would it be better to get something built up from 14? could this be done with 800?

thanks

was lookin at that thread for way too long lol some really nice bkes. thing is im getting my bike out of my jan bonus and trying to restrain myself from spending too much for a first fixt. i was going to go dow n the route of changing my mtb to a ss but going to treat myself (well it is the new year after all) so im trying to stick to 400.00 and am tempted on more stunning bikes, although i have no idea how they ride i do like the the look of the track pro and cndale major....must resist lol

oh and just to add... if Mrs Status gives me grief for spending too much of my hard earned im blaming you lot. that bike porn thread is dangerous

good advise. thanks guys. knowing me though it wont be long before im tempted on new parts though lol

thanks rusty. 290 is a great entry bike price. dont mind upgrading parts in time either so the wheel issue ive read about is ok for that price. thought getting one built up at the 3/400 mark was a bit optimistic like.

ive been hovering around for a while now, looking for advice on a complete bike for a first timer. im interested in the fuji track, seems like a good first fixed. a post i read the other day said for roughly the same cash (maybe 400.00) i could ask someone lke the london fixed boys to build me one which would be better. is this correct? and does anyone have any examples of what they got going down this route ? post em up please . i did a search but coulnt get anything specifically around this price range .

i only want to get back on it for road use really. its grat on dirt but feels soft for road and want something i can go faster on road with. cant deny i love the look of the sinlge/fixed more simple design of the road bikes. just wondering if i go for a Bianchi pista or fanny on modding what i have and no doubt spending loads getting it how i would like it.

please bare in mind i'm a complete new guy to all this so again sorry if i sound ... well.... new lol

having done a bit of looking it may be my worth while getting something like a Pista 08 or 09 for starters. love the look of them too.

wel its looking like a vertical so not sure if something like an Eno is worth it or getting a completely new frame.

thanks Hippy. much appreciated

actually its not looking like there is much travel as far as i can see. i'll get some pics up for you guys to point me in the right direction.... again apologies for the complete newb questions.

hi hippy, cheers for the quick response. its pretty old, i've had it about 3 years and a friend had it a couple too. looking at it just now it looks like semi drops.... i think lol oardon the ignorance

just regestered myself, looking into converting my rockhopper to a fixed road. not even sure if this is a good idea, complete newboob. happy christmas guys
