Perhaps they'll make more international versions of the Langster... I, for one, would love to have a Langster Shanghai complete with a stamped badge of Mao on the Head Tube and a cheapo taiwaneese knock-off of a Zipp Disk with the Star, Hammer and Sickle. Then I could wear my World Jersey Soviet Cycling Team Jersey and have a war over my thighs.

Not diggin 'em. Too.... "HEY! LOOK AT ME!-ish." I do love my '07 Langster though, very fun bike. I just don't like the look of them with the flatbars... even though it's very easy to switch out.

What is so over the top about them? I mean look at the nyc one, its just a yellow bike. The only one that fits your hey look at me assertion is the london one and that one isnt even that bad. |

boston has track drops and keirin grips (needs a beer holder or something) SF has risers The only one that actually strikes me as having anything to do with the city it's named after is the seattle, which also comes with a handlebar coffee holder. the rest of them just have a color scheme that may or may not have anything to do with their namesake city. SF needs to come with an aerospoke, and boston doesn't have a drop of green anywhere on it. needs some irish or red sox coloring. and some beer. |

And to continue the jokes of the individual langsters the Delaware one would come with glass in the tires, white plastic bags in the spokes, and the frame would be corroded by airborne chemicals. |
The San Francisco model would come with a free M.A.S.H. dvd............but then we'll have to wait another 4 or so years for it.

WTF is the point of this front fender? It actually RAINS in Seattle sometimes.

Would it have a cheesesteak holder? And a headbadge depicting a political machine?

for added philly-ness it could say E-A-G-L-E-S on the TT. But I would worry about people throwing batteries at me if I rode it. :D |

Check the color scheme on my ride...a few of us out here get it. |

Ahh but that requires getting the Pasadena version. The Pasadena version is actually the SS cross bike painted safety orange (with matching hard hat), pulling a trailer with the mini tig welder to affix the bike to the car rack. Of course due to OSHA standards the bike cannot be fixed, but has to be coaster brake.

i just saw the preview at my lbs.. pretty interesting stuff going on with the langster series..

What? The San Diego one has a burrito holder (!), is covered with Dave Wakeling stickers and has a secret compartment to stash weed.
|
Better Yet It Has Flipflops Mounted To The Pedals So You Dont Need Shoes Or Straps
