You are going to make me want to do the same thing to my langster. That is an incredibly inexpensive, fast, light commuter bike.
I bought mine after my derailer self destructed on a commute on my mountain bike - meaning I could not bike commute or go mountain biking until it was fixed!
Yes! I weighed mine at 18.6lbs compared to my MTB bike I currently ride to work which is 30.0!!! I am HYPED!
I will keep you posted and see how I like it! I have been doing a ton of research, using Sheldon Brown's Gear Calculator and I think I will run a 42/20 setup which should be terrific for my commute. If it's too tall geared, I will just slap on the 22t cog which ships with the hub.
