landsharks are awsome, but I'm still trying to decide if the paintjobs are nasty or ahead of its time.

There's always a few landsharks in my lbs, they've been landshark dealers for a long time. They have an amazing landshark track bike there.

that frame has probably never been ridden. it sat in a box all summer. it is definitely crazy looking in person and that paint job is awesome. i know he took good care of his stuff so i bet the parts are all in good shape. someone buy this and ride it please.

Landshark has had ugly paintjobs forever. if they're ahead of their time then they must be centuries ahead because that **** will never be in style.

That said...I would ride the **** out of that ugly thing.

Actually, that CL bike is one of the best landshark paint jobs I've seen.

the trackbike at my lbs has a pretty nice paintjob too. sparkly blue with sparkly orange stays and fork. Looks nice and I believe used for races.
