heres my horse, she bucks but shes a feather weight don't tell me about how poor my wheels are i've heard it all before, the fact is they're strong and they're not gettin replaced till they get flat spots or bend or i get hit by a car whichever comes first. the cranks just fell in my lap two days ago for less than cost i couldn't turn em down.
05 specialized langster
-alex da16 rims (heavy but sturdy)
-some kinda hubs
-Contitour 2000 28's (best city tires ever)
-Truvativ Roleur carbon cranks & giga x pipe B.B.
-PRofile bullhorn? bars
-48/16 fixed w/ surly tensioner
-little blackburn taillight
-all gear gets packed in my back sack it keeps the prep low for long recreational rides, cages and racks look so cluttered
-This bike is different, it gets bad reviews, I believe because of the roughish ride and cheap stock parts (Cranks, wheelset, brakes) The wind in Chicago is flippin ridiculous sometimes, so a light frame pays off, stop and goes are much easier than on my buddies pista
I stopped complaining about the rough ride when i realized i could slalomn through leaves and gravel on the lake front path. this bike rocks! I don't regret selling my car one bit!
