Yeah, definately no open laughing at the folks that buy these, at least they're on 2 wheels (it'll not be the stockbroker set...more likely middle-aged-quadrophenia-mod-types with a parker and a squirrels tail hanging from the saddle!).
I'm concerned about the brake position issue and will keep an eye out to make sure none are draughting me.....some falls are gonna be made.
I'm probably your typical non-mechanical-type to buy an off-the-peg....looking at the range of ss/fg now available from the likes of Evans I'd still most likely get standard Langster, but at least the London "Wrongster" makes the Charge Plug (http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=71373) look credible. I predict "Wrongster" sales will be v.low and am slightly tempted to buy one, hide it in the garage for 10 years before cashing in on a rarity (like my 2 original choppers buried somewhere back yonder!!).

it was me who described it as the "coldplay of the fixed world". although i think it's more like one of those horrible audi things driven by estate agents. i also got in trouble for saying that the new spazz wrongsters are a horrible, woeful exercise in specious marketing.
style over substance, the perfect bike for a media-mulleted ad-whore living in shoreditch, or possibly a foxtons estate agent, to place next to their grafittied mini. if cycling is the new golf then expect to find the langster in the white pages of golf punk magazine.
it's a vile bike, the white bar tape looks like a condom has been lovingly unsheathed over the end.
i am prepared to go further: if you ride this particular variant then you have no soul. even a genesis flyer is better. or one of the black wrongsters with the oh-so-funky gothic lettering.

That's the thing though... it's not stylish. At style over substance it fails completely.

Don't be shy... let it out... tell us what you really think. LOL [irony] The bit about estate agents though, don't you think that was a bit too harsh? [/irony]
