Pete opted for the Create reasoning that if it got him through the Summer and he ditched it then at £189 it would still be a pretty good deal.
This bit I really don't understand.
Option (a): buy a create for £189 and ride for 2 months. End resale value £0
Option (b): buy a fuji track for £350 (allowing some extra dinero for brake, etc.) and ride for 2 months. End resale value £250.
So option (a) costs you £189, option (b) costs you £100. And that's even before you consider how much longer you can ride the fuji than the 2 months you can ride the unipak.
Whichever way you look at it, unipacks are a waste of money; literally a false economy.
