Not the only issue I'm afraid. I never mentioned the fact that there are small cuts in the bar tape, apparently caused in transit by the cable ties. Could have lived with them especially as I was planning to replace the bars. Also the front wheel rim is badly scuffed near the valve, which would mangle brake pads.
New bar tape and a new wheel was promised and I was happy with that before this latest issue.
Perhaps I've been unlucky but the phrase 'buy cheap, buy twice' springs to mind.
It's going back. And I'm back to the drawing board for a fixed.
Definitely take it back then, before buying mine I spoke to few others that gave the same review as I would a weighty beast but fun; so maybe you have been unlucky but it sounds like things are mounting up
I must admit I bought mine originally with every intention of 'buy cheap buy twice', it was just a stop gap to get me to work while my finances were low and get a bit of training in but at just under 500miles I'm actually enjoying mine and it'll be a longer term thing.
One which caught my eye, when I was looking is the
Ed Co Op one, is it any good to you, its not all steel though, just the forks which means it weighs in lighter. They also do a cheaper flat bar version but I was after drops.
. Hopefully get to pick it up on Friday if they deliver to store as promised, but probably won't get to try it until the Monday after. Looking forward to it!
