I'm not sure that a "majority of people" do not like the Langster. How can this assertion can be backed up? Anecdotal evidence is suspect. I don't think you discuss this issue with your friends who live outside of Toronto, and I haven't seen a scientifically conducted poll on BF on this topic.

Langsters cost a lot of money compared to rusty conversions, so I'd expect to see more rusty bikes than fancy bikes. And are you saying, PunctualAlex, that you spend your ride time looking for Langsters - if not love - you see in Denver?

Then again, I haven't seen a single Ferrari here in Los Angeles today, but I've seen hundreds of lesser cars - how the heck does Ferrari manage to stay in business?
