Cheers all.
Yes, I do like the mods. Bringing the wheel in closer to the seat-tube makes for a more snappy and nimble feel, but the new chain makes the accelreation even more instantaneous.
The geometry is different (riding position), as not only do I now ride with my hands touching each other on the bars, but also the cycling position is now more aggressive. I will use this bike more for shorter or faster journeys, and my Capo 5 for the longer ones I think.
As for the colours, I see what edscoble is saying, as his steed is nice and classic looking, whereas as mine is a bit of a screamer. Anyway, screamers can be nice too eh? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Me, I like the colour contrast.
To be honest, I don't know why Langsters get such a hard time. Maybe its because many of the folk on here don't appreciate the easier route to one-gear cycledom? Still, I heavily back the concept of OTPs, and anybody that doesn't like it, can meet me out the back. :))
I've attached a photo of how my Bowery looked before it was modded.
