Holy @*^(!!! This is fun!!!
I was going crazy and needed a quick fix so I decided to drop in a Specialized dealer to test ride a Langster. I think the bike is VERY fun. This was also my first exposure to drop bars. I am heading back Wednesday to ride it again - at that point they are putting on a 17 cog and raising the handle bars a little (they were closing when I stopped by.) The lower riding position to me is more odd than uncomfortable. Maybe I was expecting the bike to be longer but I will try it out then.
Am I going to give up on the 'dream'? Hardly, but at $400 for a complete bike it has me second guessing myself. Any Langsters want to comment on their bike? The seat was not as bad as people made it out to be - then again I was only on it for around 20 minutes. The wheels seem fine but for my weight I think I would atleast need 28c tires (think they had 23c on them) and perhaps built up ma3's.
I'm still in a gaze.... And its been 4 hours since I rode it.... What the ^*@( have I been doing riding a geared bike? Why isn't EVERY company making these???
