Charge Hob 2012 Review

This is all about the 2012 Charge Hob. Somerset based Charge have used Cro-mo steel and a mixte frame design on this urban single speed. I'm a big fan of the french designed mixte frames and this bike is all the more beautiful because of it.

The first thing that catches your eye with this bike is the unique paint work. Charge have added some glitter to the candy apple red and the result is sparkling!

Like with all Charge Bikes, the Hob is quality throughout. The beautiful Charge cranks get you up to speed and the reliable Tektro brakes help you stop quickly. The Charge Hob uses a lot of Charges own products, which Charge have designed from the ground up, including some retro amber walled tyres and the highly popular Ladle saddle.

The Charge Hob is a perfect example of what Charge are about - simple, quality, attractive bikes. We have a small Charge Hob in our showroom, which is currently on offer for £450 (thats 10% off RRP) for the current 2012 model. Come on down and have a roll.

Custom Build 2 speed 'Kick Shift' Bike - £400

We have built up a beautiful NOS 1980's Chrome plated frame. The ultimate beach cruising machine. Clean lines, quality components and shiny!

Noteworthy points include BLB Leather saddle, special edition 'London' Olympic marathon plus tyres, Sturmey Archer 2 speed hub with coaster brake.

You change gear by back pedaling. First gear is 100% and 2nd gear is 138%. These wheels are hand built and you will not find these hubs on a bike at this price anywhere else.

This bike is a one-of-a-kind and its built to last!

CREME BIKES - 

"Bikes have always been our hobby, our passion and our job. Our whole life has been revolving around two wheels. We were pioneers of downhill racing in our country. We distributed cult parts in the early days of MTB and we were one of the first to offer stylish single-speed bikes in times when 21 gears were a standard. After work we would ride our city bikes to the local cafes and restaurants or take our mountain bikes for long rides in the mountains."

"During all these days, Creme had been a dream that we kept in our minds, a dream that slowly grew into a strong vision of a new, special bike brand. One day, after stumbling across a bunch of beautiful old bike parts in a friends attic and realizing just how little care and attention to detail can be found in today's city bikes, we decided that it was time to make our dream a reality."

 

We love these bikes. Hand built in Poland, Shimano Nexus internal gears, stylish retro lights, baskets and portage racks! Check the pink Creme Holy Moly in the window if your down trafalgar street any time soon.

Creme bikes range from £419 up to £830.
