Repco Bermuda?

[Roc_Doc]

Hi guys,
I was looking to buy a bike after a few years off riding and I like the look of this one..........



Has anyone out there ridden one, or know of one? While it is certainly an el-cheapo, being single speed and having no suspension it does not look as bad as the average supermarket bike. I just wanted to know straight from the horses mouth if there were any gremlins or traps in what should be a fairly clean simple bike. If there is a problem i want specifics about this bike, not an anti-cheap bike rant (as much as the rest of the repco range probably deserves it). I am in country NSW and have no LBS worthy of the name within 3 hrs drive so any simple retro looking alternatives that I could buy online would be appreciated, as would a good online frame dimension calculator. Lastly, any good sites with instructions beyond the obvious for assembly.

Cheers
PJ

I've never seen one in the flesh (Big W are supposed to be stockists) but I think they would be about the same as the ones you can buy online. There is a website called goeasyonline which sells that kind of thing new. I don't think you'll find the cheap (non-electra) versions in bike shops.

And if you look for Sheldon Brown's website everything you need to know is on there in terms of bike assembly.

Cool, I found the Electra bike and it is a good looking machine (Coaster brake only though, is this legal in Aust?). Th conundrum is that its hard to find buy a bike online without test riding it first. Am in the same boat with the Big W bike though, dammit.

It's legal if you have two effective brakes... so as long as it's got some type of brake on the front and the coaster it's sweet.
