I think the oversized downtubes are a bit too much, and are clearly exaggerated. I like larger downtubes, but this seems that it's definitely not to make the walls thinner / weigh less, but more for 'the look' - the deepish rims complement that aspect as well. I don't know how I feel about the brakes: with non-machined rims standard, it's pretty obvious the brakes are there only for demo-rides and meant to be tossed after purchase.

I see the braze-ons for bottle cages, so I'm assuming you're talking about pedal cages. I didn't think the Langster came with any? If it does, it is likely cheap plastic road ones. At least these pedals are square-shaped, so adding plastic clips is easy. A lot of platform pedals now on bikes are shaped like a parallelogram, so the angle on the front of the pedal makes adding cages impossible, rather, you have to replace the whole pedal.

Also, although I can't find any on the Specialized website, their early launch includes a Langster Tokyo, which is black up front, a deep blood red in the back, and gold lettering / rims / hubs. It looks really nice IMO.

Does this make Giant offering (3) options for Fixed Gear / Track? The FCR (above), Bowery, and the Omnium?

Here's the link on Giant Japan's Website.

It seems that Giant Japan is just offering the FCR instead of the Bowery... with the new launch stuff, maybe this is the 09 replacement to the Bowery?

One other thing I will mention is the middle-ground between track and road geometry. I have a T1 mainly because of the 74o HT, and this has a 74o HT as well.

The FCR retails for 84,000 JPY and the 83,000 JPY for the Langster. Given the current exchange rate, this would be about $800 in the US.
