Brick lane bikes is quite expensive, though they have some desirable kit.

Three and a half grand is a ripoff for a single speed alu bike.

If it was ti then it might be worth it a little bit, but still

Over 3 and a half grand and only one gear, bullshit and a half if you ask me... Nice paint though.

Don’t fret, 7 grand and you get TWO gears!

How’s that for a deal

Replace the rear mech with something old and more reliable, and Guinessisgoodforyou is your uncle...
