Oh I eventually got a bike, and it looks a lot like the Langster - red, chrome stays, quill stem. In the end things worked out ok, I just remember back when I was looking and Langster stock kept disappearing. It was probably the bike that hooked me into wanting a fixed gear, so it's always going to be special to me.

I gotta say that I really like the new Vigorelli graphics and your choice of wheels/cranks but since this is a hate thread:
1) Track drops suck for actual riding
2) The fact that you're using a 0-setback post on a 74.5º seat tube with a short 90-100mm stem *looks* like improper fit (maybe you've got really long legs with short femurs, I dunno)
3) Those better not be wire-bead gatorskins....

Yeah, but that dude lives in Arlington, we don't really have an arts district. We don't really even have coffee shops other than Starbucks. (well, not in central Arlington)

I like that Vig, except it already looks like all the other new Vig builds. Which isn't a bad thing you know but I'd like to see a lil more diversity in the builds.

How do you think the Giro Pink Vig. would look built up with silver/polished parts? (every build I can find online is all-black everything but the frame, or awful awful ugly anodized pink)

Your cog is slipping.

Just like any other build, as long as the components flow it should be ok. And I agree, so many jackass builds with that livery.

^^^ I like everything except the camo bar tape. Also, I think it would look awesome with gum colored hoods and a Brooks honey leather saddle.
