I think some white deep V's would look stellar on it.

I love my Langster. It's new and totally stock, although at some point I want to replace the tires with a set of red Armadillo Elites, and maybe add matching red tape. If I didn't like the Toupe saddle so much - I have the gel/ti version on my Roubiax - I'd throw on a Brooks, the leather serving as an old school counterpoint to the high-tech alu/carbon.

Although the color scheme is basic, the polished aluminum and even the black carbon forks will, depending on the angle of view, reflect colors.

I could be mistaken, but I think those replaceable dropouts are a new feature. Neat. I also love (and still have) my saddle and seatpost (and wheels and cranks and...)

That's a beautiful Langster! :thumb:

I wish my '08 had come with the toupe saddle too. But the dropouts are the same. Mine's the NY model - pretty much stock, although I upgraded the brakes/cables, and replaced saddle/seatpost.

I got a new camera recently. I went out tonight and got some ok shots; better than nothing i suppose.

What brakes, saddle and seatpost did you get?

mugatu 03-30-09 12:19 AM

I can tell that's a parking deck on GT campus, I just can't determine which one

juggleaddict 03-30-09 12:33 AM

well it feels better on MY rear end :P

looking at the pictures now, i think the handlebars need to be dropped lower, and i need a shorter stem, but i've known about the stem since i got it.

Hey, what is the biggest tire you can fit on the Langsters? Thinking of picking one up.

The saddle was a generic BG comp, with a carbon wrapped aluminum post. They've been retired and I replaced with a Flite/Thomson combo.

The brakes. Should have mentioned this: the Avid levers are fine, but the calipers were awful. They seemed to scratch the rims, and after I removed them, it was almost as if the pads had embedded shards. I replaced them with an older Dura Ace set of calipers, and no problems since.

Not . . . big . . . 28mm's? (That is a COMPLETE guess)

palu 03-31-09 09:20 PM

Thanks, juggle. Yeah, after searching a bit more, I guess it is 28, though I haven't seen any confirmed pics.

On the other hand, here's my Langster.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...4/DSC02747.jpg

New seatpost/seat, polished seat post clamp, painted rims black, new stem/bars, chainring/cog/chain, clips/straps. I did a century on this over the weekend, but with clipless pedals and the stock saddle, I gotta get an updated picture cause some of that stuff isn't in the picture.

These all look good!

I wish they had a Monaco but I ended with either San Fran or Tokyo. I didn't like the simple flat bar on the San Fran so I went with Tokyo.

I dig it, and I generally don't like a sloping TT. Really dig the murder-ness, and I think the B17 helps fill up some missing space that my eyes are so used to seeing on straight top tubes.

On a side note, Abe Froman isn't your name is it? If so there's a pretty sweet band that may or may have the exact same name.

Abe Froman 11-07-11 09:55 PM

Nickname.
I've put nearly 2000 miles on that bike this year. Lately I've been injured and can't ride. I really miss it.
