I just bought a bike!

It was a spur of the moment thing, my neighbour said he wanted £75 for a Charge Plug that's done less than a hundred miles.

It's a large (I'm not) but it doesn't look overly big so I reckon with a shorter stem it will be fine.

If it is too big I can sell the frame.

I like buying bikes! It's been over a year since I bought one!

Standard gear looks quite low.

I'll upload a picture tomorrow!

Sounds like a steal! I was looking at one of those for quite some time as have been fixed-curious for ages, and came pretty close to pulling the trigger on ebay a couple of times.

 

[3narf]

Looks OK I reckon...

@3narf that looks good

 

[ChrisEyles]

Nice! How does it fit you?

Very smart, I like white bikes

Actually it doesn't feel big! It could do with a shorter stem though, definitely. And I'm not enamoured to the shape of the bars.

Bars a bit too wide, too, at 44cm, and the cranks are 175mm as opposed to the 170s I'm used to.

Feels nice to ride, though; a bit more lively than I was expecting from an aluminium bike (hopefully not just because of the low gear).

On a buying spree then .

 

[ChrisEyles]

175mm is a long crank to spin in a low gear if you're running it fixed! Stem and bars is an easy switch though, I like narrower bars too.

Looks very nice ...especially for the price!

I think Charge don’t quite get the recognition they deserve. Good solid bikes. I enjoy my Grater hybrid.

 

[woodbutcher]

Cant be bad...what can you buy for £75 these days, well done !

 

[smokeysmoo]

@3narf if you decide it's too big or the cranks are too long or you don't like fixed or you think it's just to white then PM me and I'll give you your £75 back for it

Won't be riding it fixed - that's a mug's game, as I've repeated ad nauseum!
