Specialized Langster 56cm with Open Pro wheels and 105 brakes

I think it's the 2009 model but can't remember for sure and don't have the original receipt. Frame itself is ratty but otherwise bike is excellent:

• Mavic Open Pro on Novatec A265SBT/A266SBT small flange hubs laced with ACI Alpina F1 black spokes. [New January 2018]
  
• Halo clickster freewheel [New in February 2018]
  
• 105 brakes [old]
  
• Token TK866CM hollow axle / carbon body [New in October 2017]
  
• Continental GP 4S 28mm [New in September 2017]
  
• Race blade mudguards [ratty, epoxy'd mount to guards to stop rattles and slippage over time; possibly won't fit any other bike]
  
• Tubus fly rack [seat stay arms have been cut down to match bike and save weight :) ]
  
• FSA Ultragel bar tape [New January 2018]
  
• Frame is properly etched with BikeRegister #. (Obviously I'll transfer to buyer).
  
  

Rest of the bike is stock (rival 143 saddle, 100mm stem).

Spares incldued:

• 2 pairs of new 105 pads
  
• New 44T chain ring (still in pack, never opened)
  
• 31 spare spokes for the rear! (Back story: I snapped a spoke and came to the conclusion I had under-tensioned the whole wheel so was considering a full rebuild as a precaution. However, in the end I only replaced the broken one and used the Park tension meter to get the right tension in the whole wheel)
  
  

Bad points:

• Frame is scruffy. In particular:
  (a) Race blades have cut through the paint on the rear stays.
  (b) Lacquer is coming off forks at the top/backside.
  (c) Seat tube is badly scuffed from where I mounted my D-lock.
  
• The 105 calipers have lost some of their springiness. To compensate I put a new slick brake cable/outer on when I changed the bar tape and also wrapped the end of the caliper spring with tape to increase the tension slightly. Also the Race blades have also worn off the 105 logo at the rear.
  
  
  

£300 ono.

No pedals.

I would much prefer collection in person. I live in east London and ride into the city daily- anywhere like that is fine. However, bike is currently at my parents in east Birmingham and I go back regularly.

This was my commuter/run around for years but barely used since summer arrived.

Interested, still available?

Price drop to £175 (also to reflect another winter of usage...)

Changes from original description: FSA PowerPro BB. Rear wheel was rebuilt with the new spokes. Minor score marks from letting brake pad get too worn. The new pads were fitted to bike.

Rack is actually Tortec (I made a mistake above)

Hello there, any photographs ?
I’m interested

cheers,

I may be interested to.

I don't suppose this is still available? @ptd006

Hi @FranktheBouncer @holistic13 @Huggybear - sorry I disappeared.

Bike is still buried in my parent's shed! I was planning to dig it out put the new chain and ring on but it'll be a few weeks before I can go back. So I guess it depends how urgently you want it. (Possibly my parents could box it but I'd have to give you the spares separately)

@ptd006

Hey, you ever manage to dig it out? I’d also very much be interested.

Cheers
