Recently bought this Langster i had to clean it up a bit but it gets the job done and it was a great deal! I know i have platforms and they seem forbidden here along with the langster it self lol but i like it. Looking to put some riser bars on the bike soon though. Heres a pic.

And is that only a rear brake?

Yea the previous owner pulled the front brake and left the rear.

That's a 5 minute fix...

Nice!

If you are going to run just one brake, make it the front :)

Oh i am def planning on putting a front brake on. Just waiting till i get some grips for my flat bars. I really never am going to use the functionality of the road bars.

Yeah but they look bad ass ! ;P

True i like the color of the grips maybe ill just tape the risers with similar tape. Lol i was expecting people to despise my bike after reading other peoples comments on Langsters.

I think people's hostility towards the Langster was based on the corporate co-opting of 'fixie' culture by Speacialized - less so the bike themselves but the marketing - your bike would seem to avoid this by not being one of the city specific models.

At the end of the day it is a very good bike for the cash.

I paid 150 for it so it was a REALLY good bike for the cash. Considering people on craigslist want that much for bikes that are 20 years old, rusty, flat tires the whole nine yards.

Yer, 20 year old bikes are teh craps!!

I didnt mean bikes that are 20 years old, are crappy, just alot of bikes on craigslist are in pretty rough shape and over priced i think.

What tires are those? I actually like skinwalls.

That's obviously not what he meant. There were other qualifiers right there in his sentence.

Does it say velo on the bottom?
Just curious to know if it's the same saddle I have. It's sold under 3 or 4 brand names I know of, this wd be yet another.
I had a pair with different branding on the 2 (BBB and Acor): http://www.flickr.com/photos/lofarkas/414386251/

those look like the kendas i have on my singlespeed, are they?
i am thinking about skinwalls for my steamroller
