I am now the proud owner of a 2007 Specialized Langster purchased from a guy in Fareham Wheelers last night. A mint condition bargain at £200 from a really sound chap.
The whole thing is a double new experience for me. For one thing I have never ridden anything that is so light. Up until now I thought my 30lb Ultra Galaxy was a light bike. The Langster is around 18/19lbs and feels like a toy.
Rode in on single speed this morning which is how it was set up when I bought it. Do I dare crossing fully to the dark side and swapping to fixed? To be honest I thought I'd struggle to get the thing up the hills on a 69inch gear but its so light I had no problems at all.
This morning I have a big grin on my face and am in the middle of a whole new cycling experience. Wheeeeee!!!
