Mango bikes

Anyone ride one? How is the build quality, components etc?

Drawn to this one like a bumble bee to a honeypot!

Although I'm not over keen on matt paint as it marks

Cheers

Or a bee to a mango? Bit heavy at 12kg, especially as it's a SS.

Charge plug is 12kg too

i have a matt black bike and it is a PITA to stop it going shiny. There are special cleaning products that help though.

I have the same problem with my head.

No, he has a head like a Mango

I am acquiring a blue Pearson touche, not as lairy as the mangoes but still a good bike and colour

Feck off @potsy

Mango bikes are ok. Remember you're paying £300 for a bike. It is a bargain but it's still a £300 bike. I wouldn't give mine up for anything but it's not Lelly

Constructed from 'High Tensile Steel' with fairly relaxed angles so it won't feel very lively.
However, as a commute bike, it will be fine.
Pearson Touche is a quality bike in comparison, so you have chosen well.

I am now the proud owner of @Mike! Pearson Touche as linked by @jefmcg . To be reassembled and ridden (probably not now until Friday)

Mango Bikes started as a bike repair workshop out of a garage by three lads, including the grandson of one of my mum's friends who was also in the same year group as MsA_T.
They won a Young Business Competition- the prize included marketing advice from the man who runs Innocent Smoothies, so he pushed them towards style over substance as a result.
They're doing OK as a 'brand' [a bit like the way New Balance trainers became trendy a few years back... prices doubled as a result].

I hope you enjoy riding it @vickster shame my knee didn't like it as much as the rest of me!

Nice packing @Mike!

Vicks and I assembled it this afternoon.

I'm soooooo jealous
