After all of my decision making I put some money down on a Specialized Langster today and I can't wait to get this bike. The LBS doesn't have one in stock is waiting on one from his distributor. We were told it should be in by late December. I hope it isn't that long a wait, but if it is I'll deal with it. Has anyone gotten to ride one of these yet? Also, does anyone know why the long wait on these?

Oh man, where do we start here. Okay, if you want one of these, act fast because Specialized is building one run of Langsters in November 2003, and that's it. We ordered nine for the shop, and most of them are going to employees. At $439 the Langster is a steal. An aluminum frame and fork, 48-16 gearing, two brakes and one speed, this bike falls into the "Keep it Simple, Stupid" category. The frame has horizontal dropouts, so if you are feeling that fixed gear vibe, all you need is the proper rear wheel

Sounds like a good deal.

I really hope I get one out of that run if that is the case. I've been waiting to get another bike for a long time now and don't want to lose out on this one.
