Charge Plug 3 x Conran 5 5 3 3

Stylish urban (urbane?) run about I wanted a bike to to jump on a go to the pub/the station/local shops and this fits the bill perfectly. It is simple mechanically, solidly built and pretty nippy with crisp handling. I chose this bike over other fixie's as I figured that I would need the 3 gears and I was right, as a road rider the bike feels heavy and doesn't accelerate with that road carbon zip, this is a steel cruiser but once momentum builds I find I spin out the lower gear and need to move up so while it is a shame not be a true 'fixie' the 3 speeds are a bonus. Design and build are great, frame is comfy (I'm 178cm, 73 kg and went for the medium which is perfect so check the advice on sizing). There are some nice elegant touches like the leather saddle and grips. One bonus is that the bike arrives with steel mudguards and a chain guard (neither are pictured anywhere on the web) so it is perfect for nipping places in all weathers. i have teamed it with some knog small lights and a Kryptonite new york lock so I'm good to go to the station and back, saving me parking fees and cabs. Overall chuffed with it's versatility and classy style. 01 September 2012

Great commuting bike I brought this bike a month ago and have been using it for my daily commute. The bike is fantastic value. It feels well built and sturdy and the ride is great. The 3 gear hub is a fantastic addition particularly as my commute include a fairly hefty hill climb. My only small gripe was that the picture attached doesn't show the fairly hefty (although useful) mudguards that I could probably have done without 29 August 2012

Excellent Commuter Bike I cycle a total of 25 miles a day to and from work, I wanted a low maintenance bike and this is excellent. The hub gearing is ideal for the slight inclines on my journey, also looks very nice. I was also very pleased with Wiggle's advice on sizing I am 175cm tall and ordered a small due to the seat post sizing, but Wiggle advised me to take a medium and this is perfect for my height. 22 August 2012

What weight is thie bike, Medium?

1I have this question too

Answers

Answer:

I've not weighed it and obviously it is heavier than my road racer but it gains momentum rapidly and doesn't feel like a Grifter (1970's tank like steel steed) but if you are expecting it to be a super light aluminium courier style nip about you'll be disappointed. It is a tough commuter (or my solution for getting to the pub)

Answer:

Hi,
I have just bought this bike and it comes with silver mudguards fitted as well as a clear chain guard. These were a bonus as they are not pictured on any image I have seen.

There are no obvious pannier mounts.

I can confirm that the Conran frame can frame can take mudguards but it does not have the mounts for a pannier rack. I hope this helps.

Answer:

Hi, You probably could - I'm the same height and debated a lot as I have short arms. Not being able to find one to try, I went medium, I think you may have a lot of seat post on display but I'd say go for it.

Answer:

Unfortunately this is a limited model and we are unaware of any shops in the area where you could try this particular model, however it is similar geometry to other plug models which are readily available. Otherwise if you email sales@wiggle.co.uk we can advise you further on bike return policy.
