2014 Charge Plug series
 
Charge is a little manufacturer from the UK that primarily makes mountain bikes. They have a number of road/cyclocross bikes, which they rekajiggered into the "Plug" brand for 2014.

Charge Bikes | Plug range

For me, the Plug 3 or 4 is pretty much everything I could want. Disc brakes, road double gearing, steel frame, rack and fender braze-ons. And as a bonus, the decals/paint jobs look pretty snazzy. The only problem is, they're not available in the states - Performance bike should be getting them in June.

Anybody have any thoughts?

Didn't SRAM recall the hydraulic disc brakes that come with the Plug 5?

I don't think people should not buy bikes with these brakes because they will be fixed/replaced.

I missed this recall notice on the Plug website.

Look like cool bikes. I had looked at a Charge bike at performance once, I think it was FIlter, but there were a couple deal breakers on that model at the time (I think lack of rack attachments on that model was one item for me, but think it was a couple factors).
