Hi - my son is off to Uni, and was going to buy a Charge Plug SS, like this:

http://www.zeevon.com/details.aspx?prod ... tAod-yoALQ

Needs medium frame, ideally white (although could be persuaded by the Blue)

Had one ordered from Cyclesurgery, but got an email today saying out of stock, and were refunding my money. AcitveSports website also says they have them in stock .. but they don't when you ring them (stock on the website hasn't been updated in last 6 months (WTF?!! :roll: )

I've searched a number of online retailers; there seem to be a few in xs size, but that won't do. There are also some Charge Plug 3's in stock (3 speed sturmey archer, but in black and red), but that's not really what he wants.

So, anyone know where I can get hold of one ...?

Failing that, can you offer me suggestions for similar bikes ... Singlespeed, preferably white, likes the 'cow-horn' type bars (but might be persuaded by drops or flats), ideally brown grips/bar tape & saddle? Ideal price range is £400-£500, but might stretch for the right alternative.

Cheers everyone
