Well well well.. My wheels came from bicyclewheels.com; and I must say they look very nice.. Packaged well, and I am very happy with them so far. I threw on the tires that had come with the Langster (Mondo's or some junk.. One of the tires has a small cut that went through the rubber and there is 2-3 mm of slice that went all the way through. I had ridden them that way for a week or so without a major failure; so I figured I'd give em a try. For a little insurance I put some duct tape on the inside of the bum tire and stuck it on the rear.

I also picked up another pair of those Koolstop dual compound brake pads. So, blah blah, I put them on and the bike rides very very nice.. The new wheels+new brake pads stop the bike like a mofo; crazy stoppin powa.

The bike still isn't DONE; but is quite ridable.. I'm pretty sure I want to do drop bars now, and of course I still want to upgrade the seatpost/seat. I weighed it just a few minutes ago and I think it was 22 or 22.5lbs; can't remember. Fairly light anyway.

Ok.. on to some photos. The first two are just basic shots of the front and rear wheel; and the last shot is of me taken in the Boston Public Garden about 2 hours ago.. Enjoy:
