PaRtZ Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Couple of lads from Swansea Uni have set up this company to design and build completely custom bikes. When I say custom, I mean custom colours. Im not promoting the company at all as I hate this style of bike, I was just wondering what others think: http://www.mangobikes.co.uk/bike-builder/ Particularly the rims as Ive heard alot of bitching about them....

Bing: In all seriousness though, discriminating between cycling disciplines is the only 'gay' thing. What is the point? Akrigg proved fixies can be shit-hot-Northern cool and whilst there is a certain group who do nothing but typify the A-Grade hipster nothing is gained from mocking another genre - we're all cyclists. There's stuff i'm not so found of - 29ers, cyclocross (just don't get it), flatland, competition trials. I find all of those tedious and completely uninspiring but apart form the odd remark in jest who cares what others are doing really as long as we're riding.

PaRtZ Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Can you not change the colour of the rims? yes (click on them) also, they're singlespeeds and fixies - flip flop hub Edited December 11, 2012 by PaRtZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Eh, average price, average bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 There is another place that does this in the uk but I can't remember the name. Much more expensive than these I think. Most cheap fixie's seem to come with those sorts of rims Matt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Just looks like cheap fixies with a bit of novelty. Oh wow, you can choose the colour, so innovative. I don't see anything amazing here, but if you want a cheap fixie then it could be a good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) You really are quite funny Carl. The phrase "said in jest"' is something you should learn. I ride a road bike, and have ridden a fair few fixies, just prefer gears on a bike for distance. get lycra'd up to do it. Keeps me fit for trials. And i rather enjoy it to be honest. Nowt better than getting out on a sunday morning with 20 other lycra clad blokes with bulging gussets to stare at Edited December 12, 2012 by bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
