Sam Nichols Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 You can buy plain black chainstay protectors on ebay for a couple of pound. I'm assuming that's why you have yours the wrong way round? Other than that it's looking good. Saddle looks slick. I really want some saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want some saints i am just too lazy to sort the CS protecter out sam, just stuck it on and went straight out to ride. saints are probably the best thing ive invested in on a bike in a LONG while man! definitely do it if you have the dollar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm sorry but that create is horrible, I'm really against creates as their build quality is so bad. It's the nicest looking create I've seen, but the worst fixie brand there is. Lovely skye though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah love the Skye, am suprised you got one secondhand, and the maggie version as well. Kinda wish I still had my fourplay just lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Holy brake lever angle! looks nice thoughh!! Ride one and try to run a remotely horizontal lever angle. Both looking good mate! Always see people hating on Create's, but i guess if you're not into FIXIETRIXXX it's not exactly gonna fold underneath you commuting round town...

Rockman Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 They look so nice! I'd say Mango Bikes fixies are worse than Create.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I can't understand the fixie hate for the create bikes, its a £250 bike, i don't expect big things. It came with a flip flop hub (allowing fixed or singlespeed), and if I am honest has been totally solid since i have had it. It gets me from A to B, and is useful for taking the dog out for a run. plus its a sweet colour What more does it need? RE the skye brake lever angle - matt got it spot on! I think it could be slightly shallower, however this seems to be the compromise between bashing legs off brake levers and wrist breaking bar angles...

Ross McArthur Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 That create is horrible. Cranks and pedals on the wee bike is a massive improvement. Just wait till you get your new bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
