Anybody got one? Thinking about a cheap single speed for winter commuting.

I'm thinking for £200 its a bargain, is it?

I've just bought a Subway 1

It's a decent bit of kit, especially for the money. Solid frame, but it fits fairly well and isn't too short.
Make sure you get the new (gloss black) '09 model though!
It's a better frame and they've dropped the adjustable stem and suspension seatpost

Top Tip!
If you reserve on line (Pick up in store) you get another 10% off. Then in store you should get a £20 accessories voucher as well.

My bike should have been £300, down to £220 in the sale but I paid £198, and got some mudguards for £14. 😀

I looked at one and then went for a Revoultion S1ngle from Edinburgh Bike Co-op. That's an excellent bike with nice components.

I found the Carrera was really short in the top tube and wasn't impressed with the components. I want the bike to maintenance free!

Those wheels will not last the same rims came stock on my Carrera Road bike and were gone in 3 months… to be honest if you want low maintenance go for a 26" SS commuter, the wheels will always be marginally stronger…
