Here's mine...she's on a diet 
Getting a little makeover to lighten it up a couple of pounds and "personalize" it a bit. That itty bitty straight bar was just a bit too squirrely for me. Still a lot of fun right off the show room floor though.
Great first impressions/write up taxi777...

Wow Thats going to be an awesome machine. Kinda like Queen Latifas Hot Rod Taxi. Are you going to have a blower pop out some where? Since I took the picture of the green Seattle, I swapped out the seatpost and clamp for a silver aluminum one that came on my Novara Transfer. I couldnt tell if there was a weight difference but it matched the rest of the hardware on the bike. I found the Body Geometry seat in a bargain bin at Bicycle Village for $15.00. One came on my Sequoia and I love that seat. I have seen a Langster London in Denver on the cruiser ride. The guy rides it fixed with no brakes on the street. There is a large number of fixie riders here as well and there is even a bar on Colfax that on friday nights is a major fixie hangout. I want to show up on the Langster one friday and see how it goes. My biggest fear is having it stolen. There is also major bike theft going on in Denver. At least 2 a day get posted on CL.

Although I hate that top tube slope (on any bike) I like the rest of your bike

You will find plenty of "haters" of this color scheme on this web site...personally, I'm tired of "Racing Red" or "blacked outed". I do like the Cannondale Capo in red and white which is what I was looking at before I got a hold of my "Taxi" on sale. It's a fun bike in every respect, from styling to it's ride.

I cant believe someone would hate it. Especially with all the Themed Cruisers that are out there, I love that specialized made the various schemes of the langster for people with different tastes. When I first saw the new Langsters, I went back and forth for about a month (While selling off a few other projects to raise the money for it) between the NY and Seattle. I finally decided on the Seattle because I really like fendered bikes, yeah I know it sounds wierd. But I love the taxi theme too. It would be geat to see several of them out being ridden together. Your bike is cool
