Globe or Langster for my IGH Project?

Both of these are available locally on the used market in my price window.


Which would YOU pick for my internally geared bike project this winter and why? I am worried the Langster OLD might be too narrow (110mm being too narrow, 120mm-ish = OK). I know it can be done on the Globe because I have seen it done and I am less worried about the OLD (I THINK it's 130mm but not sure) because it's not a track frame.


I would be putting straight bars on either frame.


(note: these both being Specialized products is purely coincidence, I am not loyal to any one brand. I have looked at EVERYTHING including Nishiki, Peugeot, Pure, even an old AMF frame which I still might get if she's willing to trade an old gas BBQ for it)
