Now I am thinking I need to paint mine, because I don't think I like the decals on my 2008. I really like the white^^^.

Ditto... I HATE the graphics on my Comp... they are lame and busy and gross. I was thinking white too but maybe something different... who knows.

The bars are great, stiff, and I like that they have no drop. The "short" reach section is really perfect for my hands and with the addition of the TT levers, give me 2 hand positions. Bars with longer reach look strange IMHO.

I pieced it together over a long time using parts I had and others I purchased new. I can't guess at what I have spent, because some of the parts I have had for 10+ years. The part list is short however: DA 24h front hub, 28 Superbe pro Rear hub, Record crank/bb, White DOS ENO FW, Pedalsoft Stem/Aerobar, T2 Wing Bar, Tektro Carbon TT Levers, Reynolds Ouzo Pro Fork, Superbe Pro calipers.

The only things I am conteplating about upgrading is the calipers to DA dual Pivots, and maybe a square Taper Campy Crank...... but for the moment, its done.

Anyone like the Langster stock callipers... I have 2 Langsters and both sets are awful.

fluidworks 08-31-08 09:16 PM

Anyone have the Seattle version? It's the only one that I've really liked (asides from the S-works).

calipers
 
I've only put a couple hundred miles on mine. The first few trips out my brake pads sounded like metal on metal. I checked them, and everything looked good. The sound has finally went away, and they seem to work better now.

I ended up replacing them with a pair of black 105s from ebay. I'm now looking for a sliver pair for my Langster London.

i'm going to look into the aero and wing bars, they really look fantastic, i have some bike paths around here that stay relatively empty, i'd love to blaze up them in an aero position :-d

Heat... you probably wont hear it on very hot days... i'm not saying microwave them... but if the surfaces were softer they probably wouldn't make any noise. I'm not sure the remedy for this.

Updated wheelset, bars and stickers LOL

I really like the angles of the Langster but, to my eye, the tubes are too thick (plus I already have an aluminium track frame). Is there a steel frameset that is similar to it? Any ideas?
