1. I thought I prefered more retro looking bikes.
2. It's £625. I can't really be spending that kind of money on a bike, when I already have two. That's a seriously holiday that money.
3. You can only run it fixed. I have never ridden fixed.
4. Its seriously rigid and with track bars will be an uncomfortable ride on roads.
5. Rim-braking in the wet will likely result in death.
6. It's black white and red. Everyone's bike and their outfits is black white and red these days.
7. You can't add mudguards.
8. Nearest Velodrome is 80 miles away.

BUT I WANT IT SO BAD

It looks stunning IRL. MUCH better than in the photo

I've always liked Fuji's.

You don't want that bike, I can't see any brakes and its not got any pedals. It doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it just give it to me for proper recycling

1. Everybody needs a bike for the different sides of their character.
2. Bikes are forever. Holidays are just a week/fortnight of your life that you'll never get back.
3. This is your opportunity to learn.
4. MTFU
5. As above
6. Cycle naked. Then you'll stand out in the crowd.
7. Don't ride in the rain?
8. 80 miles is nothing.

I get the feeling that asking for sensible bike advice here is like asking 15 drunken fraternity brothers if another 15 tequila shooters is a good idea....



You know the answer yer gonna get.

You make some very good reasons as to why you should by it.

It's a track bike.
It doesn't have anywhere to mount brakes.
It looks rubbish












Ok that last one was a lie

 

[2Loose]

You need gears (well, more than 3 anyway) and it has none. 'Tis purdy though.

 

[P.H]

Everyone will want to race you. Don't buy it unless you're either;

a) Fast enough to win.

b) Thick skinned enough not to care.

Even if a, I wouldn't have it, fast riders on slow looking bikes get even more kudos.

[What's that clunking?]

+1

Plus with all that white (especially the wheels) think how much time you'll have to spend cleaning...

 

[ianrauk]

And the problem with that is?

 

[Baggy]

Unless you can drill through the front fork and pop a brake on it, it won't be road-legal...

 

[Baggy]

...but there might ba a velodrome not that far from you...

The main problem with your bike is that I can't get its webpage to load.
As such, I conclude it is not a bike at all, but a cardboard box with two dinner plates attached that you're choosing to call a 'bike'.

Also, I'm somewhat jealous as I've figured out from the URL what you're asking about.
