nice, I had that exact gen langster I think in 2012(?) bought on C2W from sigma sport, was a good bike

Going to make it look a lot uglier than it did in Manchester that’s for sure

No gears?

Simply needed a bike to get around the city which wasn’t as wide and as heavy as the double deckers I was getting stuck behind on the homer, this requires the cost of a chain and maybe the odd bolt

With all the money I save on the overground I will put it towards strongbow and thinking about the bike I’ll eventually buy one day to replace this

Maybe Commuting semi regularly again will give me stronger legs so I can just ride the homer everywhere

But for now I will simply ride the cheugy langster

That said I was having a bunch of fun hopping off various kerbs as thrasher carried the bike back

It’s such a GOOD bike

Although I’m not sure I will have the same enthusiasm as I try to ride from angel to brockley at 7am which is hopefully where the langster will be better suited

Thank god you were trolling with the Cross-Check comment.

Though this one's pretty nice:

I hate it but it was pretty much free and fits in the shed

Quite nippy

Total bike cost me £23 buying 2 new cables and a chain breaker, 2 bolts for the brakes

Rest is parts bin

A frame a good friend stored for me from manc…. About 5? 6? bikes ago 😳

you should keep an eye out for the last gen rim brake Flyer, they are mad high and short

I am buying NO MORE single speed bikes

Liking it more than I thought I would tbqh

I think I will get a new headset so I can run the homer stem, some 28s for it so I can give thrasher his tyres back, call it done

It’s quite fun

Guess that’s ultimately why I didn’t sell this with all the others

First commute back on this this morning

Q2, cs6, q1

Might be the fact it was all down hill, sunny and great light but it felt pretty good!

25c? Back in fashion?

Ask me again when it’s raining and dark

I am buying NO MORE single speed bikes

Quoting this for future reference.

Going roebuck in borough for a bike and pint next Monday 7? 730? arranged with

@Qebrus,
@Thrasher
@launchpadboi

Come through

Lots of outside

Might ride the homer might ride the mullet spesh

Not sure

Will have stickers on me

Found some more in the basement when looking for my chain tool

I will not be riding further than this sorry

If you feeling sniffly maybe swerve you know the vibe

The pomp was close… so close… but want… Kaffenback

Ftfy.

Ooh... interesting link

Edit: L is too big? Worth an eBay alert though maybe for future ones?

We have been looking at this in the [redacted], it’s good, it’s an xl too which is the size I prefer

But I don’t think I want another on one, even with gears

Think I want something a bit sportier, really want a steel cross bike

People screaming

“THE POMP IS A CROSS BIKE”

Yes yes yes but Marie kondo etc

Want a steel caadx

Maybe I’m just making these exscuses as I don’t want to go to Bristol and actually can’t handle when the exact thing I want is presented to me because the thing is not what I want, I just want the self flagellation and the eternal spiral

Who knows

New stickers from @S_as_F who came to buy the all day fork for his lovely pomp!

Great to meet you! Post up the lufguss sticker when it’s on!

But I don’t think I want another on one

But but the Kaffenback is by PX, so technically it isn't an On One... a tidy respray and no-one will ever need know....

We have to ignore powder coating

One could powder coat a barn gate and it would suddenly become an attractive bike to ride for a year or two

If this got in the mainstream the bike industry would collapse

Could just go on eBay pick any frame and send it to the local coater

£800 looking frameset right there, more if it has discs

Chips
