Not sure if this will be committing forum suicide here, but I thought it would be the best place to ask. If out of line, feel free to nuke this post…
This may be silly to everyone here, but I just want a bike to get around that doesn’t look completely terrible. The closest thing I found was something like the Charge Mixer, but just found out they won’t be getting here possibly until early next year, and I need something a bit sooner.
If I wasn’t 100% convinced that anything I put together with my own hands would most definitely kill me, and had more than 2hours of free time a week, I might just give it a shot, but in the meantime, I’m just wondering if there is anyone/where in Victoria who will do a custom build to my liking.
If anyone has any recommendations, pleas feel free to drop me a message here.
Re off the peg : Schwinn now have the Cutter. Priced beneath the Madison. Don’t know if anyone is importing it.
Is it aimed at the Emo market segment? xaxaxaxa. It’s cheaper - is it crapper? Giant also have a s/speed for around the $7-800 mark … Bowery?
As per a custom build: the usual: visit Ceres Bike Shed on a Saturday – get there early, 9 or 10. have a coffee. Pick a frame, order a wheelset from somewhereelse, snip, snap, bob’s your auntie. Or check out Humanonce they open in High St Thornbury some time in December …
comparitavely no. he does have a lot of quality parts, and they don’t come cheap, but at shifter they will be cheaper than in stores. generally speaking.
After the many horror stories that i have heard, (dented top tubes, mashed headsets) Shifter does sound like a safe choice if your after a quality build.
