    Harry, your link doesn't lead to your bike, just a specialized welcome page.

    You have to tell your browser that you are in the UK so that they can adjust the price point for you.

    I like both colours of Langster, just not as a commuter. I've got an 07 in dog poo brown. Perfect commuting colour...

    Give me a pic of that bike and ione of Vicky P and its a hard choice as to which is the sexier :oops: Is the Monaco a dual speed as in F/SS? the spec sheet isn't clear on the matter
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Yes it is, a flip flop jobbie.

    Good job Harry, what size are you getting?

    Even non bike people agree it is sex on wheels :D

    Picking it up this Saturday, whoooohooooo :D:D:D .

    I've just ordered Ultegra pedals for it (same as my road bike) :)

    I reckon it might take some getting used to a fixie when your clipped in :?

    Hopefully the weather gods will be kind to me this weekend :roll:

    Roll on Saturday

    I'm not jealous at all. You can keep your shiny new bike, I wouldn't want it anyway. I'm perfectly happy with my £250 MTB commuter.

    ;)
    Today is a good day to ride

    Well played for joining the SS/FG party, but sorry, I really dislike the look of the Langster; nasty geometery and a nastier colour scheme! Just my opinion of course, and they're great bikes. Not for me though.

    The Langster is only £450. I told the wife it was only £300 though due to the recent arrival of a new MTB :? Don't tell her though will you :wink:

    never mind about the wife. Bunch of flowers always does the trick.

    never the less. That does look like beast. Where are we going to see it pop around berkshire then.
