They are not stock, they are Navigator pistas. They don't look machined because they aren't, it's a track wheelset that comes fitted to some of the Dolan track bikes. I got them for free as a replacement for the original alex wheels because I kept stripping the thread off the hubs (three of them). I know you're not supposed to use brakes with non-machined sidewalls, but I have more than enough braking power to lift the rear wheel and it feels fine.

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid :)

i posted this in the 'your bike' thread too. this is what stormtroopers ride when they want to do barspinz.

haha thanks, good eye. they only came in up to size 12, and i needed a 13. i thought i could squeeze into a 12 but these are such a small 12 theyre basically an 11. sold em to my buddy for what i paid. still lookin for something as ridiculous

Diaper eater, how tall are you? That's a LOT of seatpost on an already large bike.

I'm digging the matte black fork. Looks good.

I like the chopped bars. I might try that.

lately i've been doing longer rides and im hating them. bullhorns are on the the to-do list.

i gotta correct myself but barspinz impossible on this bike. not that i care.

haha barspinz impossible

barspinz FAIL on Langster Comp :) You gotz to 650 dat junx...

How much does the Langster Comp frameset weigh?

My complete Bianchi Pista Concept weighs exactly 1lb more than my Langster Comp. I have never weighed the frameset alone.

rich did you sell your pista concept? i remember a while back you said you were gonna do that.
i swapped out the straight bars for bullhorns on my comp. much more comfortable.

it was/is on ebay.

Bit old picture but, holy **** thats awesome looking bike.

SOLD! $765 w/ free shipping. Not bad.

The way I figure it is, I bought the bike complete for $900 so I got a Campagnolo Record Pista crankset and Record BB, Felt tk2 stem, Bianchi seat post and San Marco saddle, budget pista wheelset w/ cog, some cheapy risers w/ Ourys, MKS Sylvan track pedals and aluminum cages w/ Cinelli straps...all for $$135 LOL.

I'm about to slap some bullhorns on my Comp and take the rest of the cash and buy a BD bike for my girlfriend and get a decent steel frame for my parts pile LOL.

my buddy could spin his, tire would thump the frame but if he threw it hard enough it would go all the way.

Is the Langster Comp frameset lighter than the regular Langster frameset? Thanks in advance.

yes. the comp has a carbon steerer to the langster's aluminum steerer at the very least..

massive score. a bit OT but you still thinking of moving up here? you can PM you answer to me so we dont clutter this thread.
