i would agree with that, though i haven't seen the nyc.
the chicago is nice but the one i saw was 52cm and the damn thing looked like a toy... it was way too short for me.

Most folks are commenting on the town-inspired versions but how does the non-city version look? Although I haven't seen it in person, the green & white one looks real nice on their web site.

the green langster is quite dark.
i saw one locked up the other day and couldn't tell it was green till i got right up to it. it reminds me of a darker aston martin green. you really can't tell unless it's in direct light and even then it's mostly a hint of green. pretty classy, though the scheme doesn't quite work with the geometry, it's like doing racing stripes on a model t, two different eras.

Is saw an interesting looking bike today....and lo and behold it was the London. Not bad, I think.
Some of the stickers are rather embarassing, but overall I liked it. Better than the NYC at any rate!

i don't think anyone's biting on my craigslist ad (got one dude who's always too busy to come look at it) so i think i'll be keeping my conversion for now.
are these 800 of each or 300 of each? i could swear it was 800 but the salesman i talked to said 3?

My LBS has them priced at $799
They got a Boston in as well...I like it mainly because it is understated...still like Chicago best.

I know this thread is old as hell, but today I saw one of the New Yorks, and I wanted to see if anyone else had any opinions on the TINY flat bars they come with. Like, I thought maybe the guy had chopped em down himself, but then he told me he had just gotten the bike, and I realized that those handlebars are tiny.

And not to bump an old thread, but the langster 07 is on sale for $449 at my lbs, and the 08 chicago is $619. May have to ride one tomorrow to see how it compares to the kona p-wagon...
