Looks nice. Is it just 4130? Or something better? I'm love Specialized's track bikes. I own a Langster S-Works and a Langster Comp, and I'm thinking about adding this steel Langster to my stable.

Looking good. Capos are so nice looking, and yours will look better without the white cranks and rims.
