The one on specialized.com (the Langster S-Works) is red and comes as a frameset. Not sure on the price.

The "white one" was the Langster Pro which is no longer produced. It came with Sugino cranks, Dura-Ace hubs, and Open Pro Rims and cost about $1300.

There is the link to Specialized's website where they mention this frameset. Specialized makes some nice racing bikes, so for a 1300 dollar frameset, I'd imagin it is a nice ride. I wonder if they have it under any track pros.
