A f'ing track bike. That must contravene trading standards surely?

It's just another permutation of the infamous 'Create' budget fixed gear bike. Do a Google search for them and you'll unearth a mound of horror stories. Just don't bother. It looks horrific, and they are, indeed, horrific.

Anyone had any experience of these? http://www.buythatbike.co.uk/catalo...S15142446932&gclid=CLbQwKKasaoCFUMf4QodvGn89Q

Read what I just wrote above. Exactly the same. Building your own fixed gear bike will save you infinite amounts of money against having to constantly upgrade and repair these shitheaps.

they look like solid rubber tyres that are molded onto a PVC rim with spokes made from aluminium

Ah, but as it's from Argos, you can take it back within 12 months - if it lasted that long.

If you are looking to get into track racing

stay well clear of this bike

And I thought argos sold enough shoot.

I can't even understand why people would buy a bike so cheap - do people not realise that cheap = shoot? Saying that most people who buy bikes from Argos, Tesco, ASDA etc never use them or are so badly out of shape and rusted they can't go fast enough to kill themselves anyway.

You know what's worse? My girlfriend works for Argos and get's 10% discount on all this shoot.

Are you saying she's a cheap $hit

No, i'm saying not only is crap in the first place, but she gets money knocked off it as an employee which is even worse as it's easier to get hold of....
