The Kryptonite is this one

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005YPK8G2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am not going to split as it isn't worth the time.

On that note

Price drop to £50 posted

A pic of the actual handlebars. The brown tape is there on the handlebars to keep the shims so i don't lose them.

The Velo Bars will come with Steel shims.

The bars were purchased for a project and are new and unused.

New Camelback + New Kryptonite lock + New Silverline Cargo net + Unused Racktime Addit rack + Topeak Aero wedge.

Everything is new and unused except i cut the Racktime rack to fit a Fairdale weekender ( I took about an inch of it, so it should still fit any bike) plus there is a small ding in the metal from storage which doesn't affect it. It has not been used on a bike as i scrapped the project and sold the frame etc in another sales post. So it is new except for the above.

The Velo bars are not included and are for sale in another sales thread.

Frame and forks are sold.

I'll do the Orange Velo Crazy bars and Racktime addit rack for £70 posted.

Price drop to £230 delivered

The frame and forks alone cost £260 from Triton Cycles. The rack and bars were nearly another £100.

I also have shims for the handlebars and a new black seat clamp that i will include.

This is a good base for a great touring bike.

I'll have a ponder about spliiting and i'll let you know.

As promised a pic of the rack

I have a new unused large Fairdale Weekender 100% chromoly frame (it takes disk brakes) and chromoly forks + Velo Casey's crazy handle bars, new and unused + a new unused Racktime Addit rear rack, the rack was purchased within the last month from Rose Bikes in Germany.

They were originally purchased to build a touring bike, but i ended up buying a full bike instead.

I'll upload photos of the rack tomorrow.

£250 delivered in the UK for the lot.

I purchased a Fairdale Weekender weeks ago, took it out of the box, looked at it, and put it back in the box.

I have since then bought a Charge Plug as i really wanted a single speed bike and don't want the hassle of gears etc.

The bike is brand new and has not been out of my house.

I want £350 for it, i am in Edinburgh, but i can post it for £20.

I'll upload photos shortly.

Thanks

A few questions if i may.

Where about are you going? Do you know the John Muir Way opened in April? I am doing it myself in the next couple of months.

Also i take it the Crosscheck has gears and it's not the singlespeed? Last of all will you be fitting mudguards?

Have fun.

So at the end of the day i should just buy a Pompino?

Thanks for the insight. I have no idea if the wheels are sealed on either, i won't lie, i don't even understand the relevance of them being sealed.

Thanks Miro, i am going to look at a Fuji tomorrow. Lucky there is a new one near me.

A Fuji and budget to change the saddle, pedals and levers.

What would you base your decision on miro? Also what about the Fuji's wheels and tyres? Are the tyres much use for road? By the way i weigh 200lbs, would this make a difference?

I have considered a Surly but they are at least double the price, the steamroller is another £100 on top of that.

Is the On One £150 better than the Charge / Fuji? If i spent the spare on £150 on better parts for the Charge / Fuji would they then be the better buy?

Anyway lets go back to my original question about the Plug / Fuji. Why is the Charge Plug nomrally £150 more than the Fuji Classic track?

What would you buy?

Well there is no info here about the Charge Plug 2014 model so i thought i would be the one to start the thread and how it compares to the popular Fuji Track.

I wouldn't compare it to popular forum favourites like the Langster or Dolan Pre Cursa as they are not steel bikes.

The reason i am looking at the Charge Plug vs Fuji track is i have already narrowed my search down to these two or possibly the On One Pompino. Paddywagons, Cinellis etc have already been disregarded from my search due to price.

The secondhand market where i live is crap, i haven't seen one of the above for sale in the last month.

A lot of you are better informed than me and have experience with these bikes, hence why i asked the original question.

Thanks for the replies.

I had not noticed the lack of bottle carriers on the Charge and now you say it i think you are correct about the thinner tubing, but how else are you meant to carry a bottle?

Are there any other bikes any of you would recommend that i should look at that are single speed / fixed in this price range? I also want to be able to take it out in the winter.

I would build a bike like a Surly Steamroller, but i don't have the knowledge to source the correct parts..

How does the Pompino compare to the Fuji and Charge, is it worth the extra £150 premium?

Can i get an amen?
