 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
following [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/charge-steamer-possible-bargain-at-evans ]this[/url] thread on Tuesday I ordered one.
Delivery was speedy - it arrived yesterday before I'd 'mentioned' to my wife that a new bike was on the way but she was surprisingly calm when she got home to see the box.
Main issue to date is that the seatpost doesn't have enough adjustment to get the saddle quite flat.
Any good online guides to adjusting Sturmey Archer 3 speeds - it doesn't stay in '1'?

My beach hut's just been painted so nice to photo new bike with it 🙂
that is puuurdy 😀
you'd think a decent and largely sensible company like Charge could manage to spec a seatpost you can actually use properly though wouldn't you? 👿
(their own 'chopstick' seatpost is a different design and would be fine with that crazy seat tube angle, shirley they could have found room in the build budget for that?)
nice Like your hut too!
Nice hut, I will say I don't really like that but I can't really tell you why and I should like it (and I normally love all bikes).
I think it's the chain guard, it doesn't seem to match the tone of the bike.
Hang on a minute? There's nothing obvious to criticise in that picture
Standards really are slipping around here of late
*wanders off, mumbling incoherently*
well after a recent mauling following a post of my c456 in the garden I thought I might try and up my game a bit.
Wtf is going on with that top tube? And why is your saddle nose up in the air?

top tube is a matter of taste/choice I guess - I quite like it.
i'll see your cruiser and raise you a Humu

Nice bike by the way.
I do love a bit of frost damaged concrete in a bike photo 😉
[Edit] cheers Coleman
Nice hut ,strange bike .
You could always do something like [url=

That would draw attention away from the chain guard and top tube 🙂
I am sure it will B a lovely pub bike
It is odd to have wheel reflectors and no bar and seatpost reflectors....
I think the Humumuumumkumpupmupmujioksdfhajdkfhasdjkfahsdf'a is nicer.
some_rich - took the bar one off - the rear one's on the mudguard. I shall probably remove wheel ones later.
It's the first time I've bought a whole bike in one go - not used to just straightening bar, fitting pedals and riding.
