Cheap bike

[Paul Drawmer]

Just ordered a new 'go to work' single speed.
http://www.pisquaredbikes.com/
Also ordered a pair of bull h/bars for it.


Far to down market for PH; but it looks good to me. It's replacing a Saracen Eiger Cross which as probably 17 years old!

I've also got a home made based on a Saracen Killy Flyer magnesium frame from 10 years ago. So a new bike is exciting for this old man!

some bits from the specs page said:

Excellcent performance...
shock absorbtion...
Light weight...
Nothing special...
Moderate Reliability..
Questionable and uneven performance, if yours doesn't work send it to me for a replacement - chosen to keep the price low..

Thats hilarious. All this for £250. Righto then.

Also, just to make this slightly constructive, keep an eye out on paulscycles for things like this

Fork is made from hi-tensile steel to balance the power with a comfortable ride

hmm, that'll be even less comfortable than the aluminium fork on my SS!

Just to put it in perspective; I bought it new from them on ebay

I thought the spec. was interesting since it showed how they'd got it down to a price, I like a bit of frankness in an advert!

Ah at that price it looks much more reasonable. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it.
