...8-speed. Ok, ok it's not strictly single speed but I still like the idea of having some gearing but can't be doing with derailleurs if possible. I've been looking up some single-speed/hub-geared bikes and found the Charge Plug fairly closely fits the bill:
-Steel framed
-Stripped down (kinda fixie lookin')
-urban theft resistant pricing (I'd be gutted to lose a grand worth of bike)
-Simply styled; few flash decals etc.
-Fairly quick looking
Do you guys know of any other off the peg alternatives or simple conversions that cost similar or less. My inner blackbird is still piqued by disc brakes and the like so they're a possibility. Other bikes I've had a nosey at (all MTB types) are the Trek Soho 4 & S and the Ridgeback Nemesis.
Thoughts? Jeers? Mockery? or perhaps some advice?
All welcome.
