    Anyone ever bought/ridden one?

    I’m leaning towards one, i want a singlespeed for running about etc and it looks like it’s going to cost me a bit to convert my existing old commuter, so…

    I saw it in the papaer and had a look at the website, bikes look ok but the blurb is a bit bollox!

    i had a chat with them on the set of the BBC Be Your Own Boss program (they got an investment from the innocent drinks guys). i think i was at the same uni as them too.

    anyway, they looked pretty generic SS/fixies, pandering to the wannabe hipster crowd. there’s probably better bikes out there for the money – they were gas pipe type afairs with relatively mediocre bits.

    mmmmmmmmmmm they look a bit er, sh!te but they are cheap though in looks, build and price.

    £99 though probably built by orphans welding the tubes together in unventilated caves somewhere in the ‘booming economies’.

    Looking at the website they claim a weight of 10-12 kilos, not exactly light.

    They’ve just used the word ‘funky’.

    For that reason, I’m out.

    OTOH, they are not that bad, bikewise. They are going after the hipster market, clearly, who I imagine don’t really care all that much about weight.

    Definitely for hipsters. Just noticed that you can’t change ratios on it, just colours.

    Probably will sell hunners of them.

    £99 is a deposit
    £170 is the balance to pay.

    Total price £269
