yeah man, they are sick for short distances, just round town and that. well fun. look for a p-fix or an identiti persona… volume cutter/thrasher.
saying that, charge scissor would be right up your street and they are shit cheap on wiggle at the moment - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/charge-scissor-x-knog-29er-limited-edition-2013/

Yea Swede - BMC streetracer01. Been looking for a new bike for sometime, just can't decide on what one. Anyway I thought I'll spray the frame and invest in some wheels in the meantime.
I know what you mean about the alloy strip… But just gets silly with the amounts of cash I'll be throwing about if I get full carbon.
Anyway, got to say I've been pretty impressed so far with the wheels - very quick and stiff and keep rolling compared to my other wheels.
I need some new wheels, alu and able to take a beating - I guess what people would generally call training wheels (for my general riding + commuting bike), will be going through potholes etc
Any suggestions? I'll scour the usual places, thinking buy second hand but almost new, budget 100-200ish
Alfines are supposed to be good, that's a lovely bike imo

V-Sprint do a decent wheel building service. Good value wheels built for racers so much better than cheap wheelsets you'll find elsewhere.
You can pick up a pair of road wheels with miche hubs for £119, and the pro clinchers are probably the best value wheels out there. Tons of reviews on lfgss (& members get a discount).

Cool Swede, just been looking at some freestyle bikes, read about a few builds and bikes that are essentially fixed freestyle but are more geared towards short commutes rather than strictly tricks. Sounds about right to me. Know a few of you said building your own is not for beginners but I know a few guys I can get some help from and prefer the idea of building your own anyway.

Was looking at a charge scissor actually.. apparently I'm 6'6 now so I'm right in thinking I'd need a large frame at least? Only medium and small on wiggle… Think I've made my mind up anyway, been reading a few forums and sites etc and I'm definitely down for building my own instead of buying one off the shelf, especially as I'm being a bit specific in what I want. Cheers for your help though I'll shoot you a pm once I make a proper start if that's cool.
grab something that can fit 2.25" schwalbe big apples and you will be rolling in good times phikz!
you'll definitely want to be looking at xl or xxl or 22" - 24" sized frames. i'm 6'4" and rode a medium/18" frame for a bit. while it is doable by adjusting seatpost, stem and bars, it's far from ideal nor the most comfortable. was gonna suggest an on one inbred, but it looks as though they only go up to a 21" frame?

is that a bmc lucas? was also looking at carbones, i dont like the look of alloy braking surface on carbon wheels but its so much cheaper (on pads and initial cost) to have them over full carbon
