After reading Ton's post t'other day about fixie riders in Yorkshire! I was wandering about the locality yesterday and spotted [url=www.pushcycles.com]THIS PLACE[/url]
So off I peddled and dropped by, I clocked a loverly looking Abici Agus in the window and went in.
It was a proper nice shop, the customer service was excellent, I liked the look of the Abici but it was way out of my price range, so I had a quick spin on a Charge Plug, very impressed was I and I think I've found the single speed/fixie commuter for the forthcoming year.
To top it all off the girl in the shop was loverly, definitely worthy of a picture in one of them "girls on bikes" threads 😆 8)
Be prepared for everyone to tell you that the Charge is [i]really[/i] heavy...as if it's a race bike or something.
I've had mine for nearly 2 years commuting and it's served me very well.
Stock tyres were a bit on the porky side, soon had these off and it rode a lot better with 23c's.
I've just replaced the wheels as the cup and cone formula's were gash, though I think they've updated these to sealed bearings now.
Haze -> the charge feels positively flyweight compared to my current commuter and the Mongoose Maurice I was looking at before crimbo
A shade over 10kg for a stock medium, which is a tad heavier than similar bikes.
It's never bothered me...
Oh well, it has got to cope with the amazingly smooth roads of Central London though 😆
At least the biggest slope on my commute is up Camden Rd towards Kings cross, must be all of a 1:30000000 😆
You own/work in that place don't you and this is a plot to drum up more business. The promise of an attractive lady is particularly devious.
Burn him!
🙂
Certainly don't, it's a cunning plan though 😀
Although she was nice

Why does the link in the OP just take me back to the forum summary page?
Don't know but it should take you [url]www.pushcycles.com[/url] It certainly wasn't undercover advertising as I don't work in that shop let alone in the bike industry
WTF, it don't work cut & paste to browser if you want a look!
akira-> I could hardly get my phone out and bag a quick snap of girl in question, it would've been a bit rude
