For sale specialized langster vintage steel

  • Hello

    Ill put some pics of this up later today when I get a chance. I used this as my commuter for a while. I believe the bike dates from 2010/2011 and as I recall the frame is 56cm. It all works ok and the frame etc is is good condition. It's got a few minor marks as it's obviously been used It's got bullhorns and upgraded tiagra brakes. Both tyres are good, the back one has done very few miles. It's got an upgraded saddle.

    The back brake will need a bit of fettling with- it doesn't have any brake blocks in ATM as I was going to fix it but now don't have time. I'll include the new blocks with the sale if I can find them. It's totally ridable as it is and the front brake works well.

    I'll post some pics later but was thinking about 125 quid is very fair.

    Let me know if anyone is interested. Link below for a picture as to what it looked like new below:

    I've also just measured the top tube and I'm sorry it's 53cm not 56cm. I'm 6ft 1 and it rides ok for me.

    The good points ;

    The front Vittoria zaffiro is showing signs of wear but fine to use

    The rear zaffiro is not all that old but has done some miles and is also fine

    It has an alias 143 saddle upgrade showing signs of wear but v comfortable (these sell for 25/30 quid or so on eBay)

    The frame is in good condition, a few marks, nicks etc here and there and would benefit from a good clean.

    Reynolds 520 crome moley frame, it's cool.

    Useful double sided peddles clip in one side and flat the other in used condition

    Tiagra brakes - front brake is good and powerful , newish pads

    Useful rear drinks bottle holder

    Wheels are straight

    You can ride it away but i would not try lejog on it just yet

    Really cool Ferrari red colour

    The bad

    It's a used bike so please don't think otherwise

    Back wheel has a bit of play

    Chain needs a clean

    Back brake needs a service or replacing

    Few marks here and there but nothing out of the ordinary

    It basically needs a service, a clean and either a new back brake or the current brake fettling. If you are handy I think 40 quid of parts and a bit of elbow grease will see her right and you'll have a really nice retro ride.

    I'll miss her but need the room. Could probably get a bit more on eBay but I CBA.

    If you've expressed an interest can you look at the pics and the blurb above and tell me if you maintain your dibs or not and we can take it from there.

    Cheers
    Jack
