2006 S-Works Langster
 

just came across this:

at $1100 for the columbus slx alu frame, carbon fork, hs & seatpost it's up there.

Not a whole lotta design differentiation between that and the T-1.

There are plenty of differences that I see

also dont almost all specialized have compact geometry? like mtn bike lookin ****.

Sers I thought you were a commuter. Carbon fork for those awesome NYC potholes?

that thing would look sweeeeeeeeet with some flip'n'chops and a suicide hub :D

Cool.

Only if I could be like you guys and not make a cheap decision, I'd be riding one of those cool IRO thingymajiggers. :D

i didn't say that i liked it. i'm actually a pleasure biker. transportaton, recreation, urban terrorism...

Want to get on AIM so we can talk? :p

HEY HEY!!!
Crappy bike thread. Someone show this to juvi-kyle so he can make it cry.

Sloping top tubes suck

Integrated headsets are gross.

I like it.

What brand is that?

You've got to wonder about how many places you can stick the name... At least its got a few less than look tends to do... :D

Those are nice looking bikes. I really like that first frame.

by far the best specialized i will say that.

I dunno... I just don't like the design of most modern bikes that much -- they look bulbous and doofy, especially the shaped aluminum bikes. Some of the modern carbon frames are done well, but compact geometry + weird shaped tubes = meh. Cannondales look better for aluminum, to my eye.

if i were to ever buy an aluminum track frame, it would be a cervelo p2t

I have an older Langster for street duty and I love it. Its quick, no toe overlap (haha), and I have done 75+ mile stints in the street and been comfortable and fast all day (all the Langsters have the same geometry). However, I would not give them 1100 (or the 8 - 9 hundred on eBay) for the S-works edition. I prefer aluminum and if Im going with a aluminum track bike Im going with my Colnago.

I'd mount the Langste Pro any day of the week...including Tuesday.

(Tuesday's coming - did you bring your coat?)

I think the S-works langster looks like an E5 with track ends

have you heard about the p3 track frame?

I live in a giant bucket

And now, angry ticks fire out of my nipples!
