I ride the '07 Langster (not comp). I also ride single speed so I'm not sure if my opinion matters too much. Anyways, the Langster comes stocked with Alexrims 500. Friggin terrible! TERRIBLE I TELL YOU! Not sure what the comp has but it's gotta be a whole lot better. If you're looking for a project, get the Langster. If you want a complete bike out of the box, get the comp. Just understand that if you want to go to Single Speed at some point, you will not be able to with the comp. It doesn't have a bridge for a brake on the rear. But IMO, the comp is prettier than both the Langster's frames. And I've had both frames. You should be pretty happy either way. I friggin love my Langster.... and I'm on my second one of the year!
