Single speed options?

Hi chaps,

Looking at getting another bike to pootle round town in, errand runs, some light gravel paths/trails but mainly roads.

Seen these two so far, I rode a large Charge Plug yesterday and was really impressed with it...

Anything else you would consider, I don'd mind buying second hand!

Do you have a preference over straight or drop bars?

An alternative that instantly springs to mind when I see the Charge are the Mango offerings - http://www.mangobikes.co.uk/bikes/single-speed-and-fixie-bikes

Straight bars for a "daily" bike I think, will check Mango out they look like another contender!

The Genesis Flyer looks awesome, but it's got drop bars. Can be had cheap second hand.

I'd take drops. I don't see the point of flat bars on anything you ride on the road.

The On One Pompino is also a good choice, as both Grudas and I will attest! £500 new.

agree! £450ish as a custom build..

only thing not included is a front wheel, rear was nearly as expensive as the whole set tho.
