Bikes: A little of everything
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
). 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.

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

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

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
