I am thinking about buying one of these, i can get both for the same price.

I have come to the conclusion that the Fuji seems to be the better made bike? Cro-mo frame and fork compared to the Plug only having a cro-mo frame etc. I see the new 2014 plug also has a sloped frame, i take it this is a cost cutting exercise.

I am just looking for a bike to get out on in the morning for a fun cycle about and for fitness as i have another geared bike for longer rides, touring etc.

What would you recommend?

I'm thinking about buying the new 2014 Plug but there is next to no info on it? Any thoughts? Stuck between this or getting a Pre Cursa, Langster or Fuji Track.

The two cheapest being the Fuji and the Charge by a couple of hundred quid.

I'm looking for something for short rides that is fun and comfortable.

I haven't owned a bike in 15 years after an accident and then a change of location, anyway i have just bought a Large Fairdale Parser Express frame and forks and i was looking for some help with sourcing parts for a build.

I am a bit out of date with bike related things.

I am looking to use it as a Fixed/single speed for the road and maybe a bit on canal paths.

Any recommendation on parts? I was hoping to not spend anymore than £200 on it. I don't need a saddle, mudguards or water bottles holders. I would be quite happy with bull bars, but would look at drops or other recommendations.

Thanks

Looks great, what is the full spec?

I have had two accidents on bikes. One i made a ramp when i was 8 years old and tried to ramp it on my Raleigh Strika, it didn't work out and i landed on my jaw. a helmet wouldn't have helped.

No.2 accident i hit a car, flew 10 feet in the air and landed on the tarmac on my hands and knees... as humans normally do. i wrecked my hands and knees but my head was fine.

I am about to start cycling again and am in two minds about wearing a helmet.
