What are your thoughts on the brass knuckle frame as a first bike

edmundane [quote]hippy Yeah Langster comments are too harsh.. geometry is wrong blah.. from people that've never ridden one.
They're being judged on aesthetics and frame material nothing more. Gotta get that insurance sorted out..

true, i've ridden my mate's 2005 langster and it's actually not bad apart from the fact that he's shorter than me and the saddle height is wrong... it certainly doesn't feel as nice as the steel bike i built myself but it really isn't bad to be honest. though i have to say the poo brown and the gothic typography is really bad AND the london langster is just plain WRONG.[/quote]

My flatmate used to have a langster, (though I bet you couldn't get her to admit it!) it fit me, I rode it. The ride is certainly not anything to write home about. And yes, I believe that loving your bike (aethestically or otherwise) means you'll ride it more and that's good. And if you can buy an OTS ugly bike with an ok ride, or you can buy a OTS not-ugly bike with an ok ride then why go ugly?
Anyone who actually sells a bike and says it comes in "rust" colour has no idea what cyclists are looking for.
