My langster was $439, but i've heard of people buying them in the high $300 range. You're gonna want different pedals, and DEFINITELY a different seat. The stock seat might as well be coated in broken glass.

If you want a pure track setup, the langster pro runs about 1400.
HEY That sounds like a reasonable price, and looks like a pretty good bike. (don't need a 1,400 dollar track bike)
I have a specialized dealer near, I need to give them a call.
Probably a lot better idea than putting money into a piece of junk, like I was thinking about doing.
I am just using powerstrap pedals on my other bike, not clipless.
