Singlespeed Commuter

[RBT84]

Looking to buy a cheap SS commuter bike for my very flat 3 mile commute to save using my road bike as I have to leave it outside, I like the look of the Charge Plug 1 2016 for the money £300 from wiggle any other suggestions?

why not buy an older bike and convert it ?

although i like the Plugs they are very heavy for a single speed bike

I quite like the look of this vintage style single speed, £288 from Wiggle. I've no idea what the components are like but it looks cool which is important!

The Planet X Holdsworth looks great at £399.

I'm no expert, but I've had no problems with it. I bought it on eBay from a chap who hadn't had chance to use it much so it was in good condition.

To be fair, it's just my 'short journeys around town, popping to the shops' bike, so doesn't do that many miles.

Gets admiring glances though!
