Mango bikes

[Andrew_Culture]

Just seen these on 'Be your own boss', for the price I quite fancy one http://www.mangobikes.co.uk/

Can't figure out if they're fixed or not?

Flip-flop 16x44 fixed/freewheel.

They look very colourful. The price is very appealing too.

A BSO Fixed ............. no quality components ,hi ten frame ,no quoted weights (probably weigh as much as a small elephant)
You get what you pay for

On FAQs page:

Are Mango Bikes light?

When you dump all of the gears etc. you’re left with a much lighter bike – a Mango Bike (depending on size and spec) weighs between 10-12Kg!

a small elephant then

12 kg for fixie or singlespeed , not a bad weight

i have put a couple together using 80's Raleighs as donor bikes and ended up weighing around the 10kg area so 12 is not to bad

My 62 cm framed fixed weighs in at 8.5 kg
so another 2.5kg on top makes it a weighty beast
and as for all that colour coded nonsense

Too costly for Hi Tensile, which gives a 'dead' feel.
Too heavy for a Single Speed or Fixed, usually around about 18lbs in small size.
Designed & sold as a fashion statement; just like in America.
Definately not for me; but if after considering all it's faults you still like it, go get one, it's your money.

My wife asked me to find the site on the iPad, when I was using the bike configuration thing she said 'you're making a black bike aren't you?'. Yup ses I.

Didn't buy one though. I think anything that gets folk in the saddle has to be a good thing.
