Charge Stove

herr

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new bike that I can get from place to place on, is very simple and that I can do a little bit of street riding on. I was thinking of the Charge Stove, as I am on a very tight budget, and always will be for the forseable future, so no saving for a better one

I read the mbuk review and it sounds quite good, I was just curious as to what everyone else thinks, if anyone has one or knows someone who does, a bit of first-hand experience would be great

If anyone can reccommend other bikes around the œ300 mark (I'm in Ireland, so the conversion is about ?420!) That would be great too!

Charge Stove is unfortunately a pub bike and hence is not really meant to be abused. It might take a little stick, but its not really worth the risk.
Looked at the DMR Drone? I _think_ they are still about œ350.

So I should really rule the Stove out then?

I'll have a look at the drone now

Thanks alot Any other bikes you could reccommend?

i would do. look at DMR and identiti for a street bike in the price bracket you are looking at.

Thanks, Nicklouse.

I have a spec list but I'm on quite a tight budget, it's also quite annoying because I live in Ireland and the exchange rate is horrific, so I've kind of given up on the the spec list I originally wanted.

I found the Barcode Bikes 2Thirds on chainreactioncycles
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=15485

It's more my budget but It seems a little too cheap but I would be willing to change a few parts on it, what do you guys think?

nicklouse

the barcode is not that bad. but it is what you pay for a cheap entry level bike, a freind has one and the bb went after 3 months of Swedish winter weather use. but cheap and easy to replace. it has a higher front end than say the P-45 but still rides fine.

Ok, I think I'll just keep looking for a while, hopefully I'll find a job and get something a little better

Thanks for the help guys

Save up a bit more and you're into DMR Drone, Identiti P-45 and Charge Iron territory.

Ok thanks, SimplyTheBike.co.uk have the charge Iron in stock, but with the exchange rate it comes out at ?656, which is quite over my budget
