Well, I was planning on buying an Easton SLX fork anyway...so I guess it wouldn't be worth it to pay the extra dough for a comp?

Also, what do you think is a fair price for a comp frameset? There's one on eBay right now...

Yes possibly buy its kinda up in the air now. I realized how much I hate cold weather and watching the Toronto weather on my iPhone for the past several weeks, I am terrified to move to Canada LOL. We'll see... If the positives far outweigh the negatives, I'll probably take a shot at Toronto.

The Comp is a completely different frameset, not just a diferent fork on a standard Langster. It has a true track geometry and higher bb drop. It's closer to the S-Works track frameset than the standard Langster design. I got my complete Langster Comp for a stellar price but I'd pay upwards of $400 for the frameset alone if I wanted to build one. That one is at $250 now with more than 5 days remaining.

Wrong forum.

Wrong thread.

Wrong bike.

Very wrong color.

Is that even Specialized?

The bike behind it looks like it may be interesting.

rich i thought you were selling the comp? kinda wish i hadnt sold my frame... still havent replaced it.

Raiden 03-16-09 06:12 AM

This might be the only picture I have left of my Langster; It was my first new-off-the-rack bike ever and my first fixed-gear (I rode it purely as a singlespeed at first, because I was terrified of riding fixed at first, haha), and the bike that made me decide that I hate aluminum (but love light bikes and carbon).

Anyway, here's me on top of Mt. Diablo (and yeah, I did San Bruno, too :D ). I set it up 42x20 fixed to go up, then flipped the wheel to the freewheel to get back down.

Thank you!

It was brutal- I'd partied/drank the previous night, barely slept, and didn't eat much of a breakfast. I almost quit about halfway up, but met someone that motivated me to the top (mostly by lieing to me about exactly how much further I had to ride, hah). I actually ended up only a few minutes behind my friends, who were armed with a couple of really nice bikes.

I just sold my comp so I cant go check but I was under the impression the comp had an aluminum steerer?

Quoted from Specialized 06 Langster Comp specs -
"FORK Specialized FACT carbon fork, bonded carbon fiber legs, 7075 alloy threadless steerer"

I thought mine was carbon too but the specs say differently

online specs must be wrong cuz mine was carbon.

I did until about 4 days ago LOL. My buddy bought that standard Langster which I posted a few posts up but it was too small so I let him setup my Comp and he liked it so much he wanted to buy it... so I sold it ... frameset only for $350. I enjoyed it but I am also kinda regretting selling it since I liked it so much. Tough times call for tough measures. I needed the cash! LOL
