Growler has persuaded me to buy a bike
« on: July 25, 2011, 08:14:56 AM »
ANy suggestions for a good source? I have been looking on Fleabay, but would have to drive miles to collect one. Might go out for a mooch around the bike shoppes later.

Tipsy might have a spare one going cheap, like... rubschin:

Bloody didn't, well not for an hour anyway.
Why do you always have to exagerate ey, why?
Are you actually a wumman? whistle:

Good idea anyway,
Halfrauds as the dog sez.

Try a few. Saddle comfort, gears quality, brakes quality and frame weight, oh, and quick release front wheel too...and get them to show you how to use that facilty, as it'll involve disconnecting the brakes....CONCENTRATE! ::)
There's a lot of shit on the market, so don't get sucked into buying some cheap but bright looking Chinese made turd on wheels.
You get what you pay for, and if it looks too good to be true, it WILL be a crock of crap.


If you get one this week, I could come over in me van and bring mine too!! happy088

Are you taking all this in blamanche 'ed? noooo:

DO NOT purchase some cheap shit off the intermong or mail order. noooo:
I WILL be doing a quality control inspection when I arrive, and WILL confiscate and destroy if it doesn't meet the required Growler Standards, is that understood numb nuts?  rubschin:
It's for your own good and safety...and mine if I have to ride alongside you.

Halfrauds! Banghead
 Good selection at reasonably good prices.

Only down side is it's a bit of a lottery as to what make and model of spotty yoof you get to explain things to an equally dough brained carrot 'ed. whistle:
