For Sale: Black 58cm langster with carbon fork

I need to make some space and am getting rid of one of these:

They've had loads of stick on this forum for being a bit soulless, built by a big company, and having awful graphics, but basically they're decent off the peg ss/fg bikes. The frame is stiff, and really light and responsive, and overall I found it quick, but also comfortable enough for longer rides.

The frame is the black 2006 model (which is taped over with black tape because of those awful graphics), but it has a replacement carbon fork, which was an essential and comfortable upgrade from the alloy one it came with.

It's got an 18T fixed cog on the back wheel with a well used, but still well usable, conti' gatorskin tyre, and panaracer 'flataway' liner. Other than that it's all stock with the original sugino crank and 48T chain ring. Condition-wise it has some dinks and scratches you'd expect from a 3 year old bike but it's in reasonably good condition, and is mechanically sound.

I'm not selling the front wheel which I replaced 'cos that's being swapped onto a new bike i'm building for baby transport duties (hence the need to make some space). Also it needs some pedals but I can throw in some cheap but almost unused flats if wanted. I would be hanging onto it for beater duties if we had more space here, but we haven't. I haven't really thought of a price yet so make me an sensible offer if you fancy it. If you want a photo pm me an email address.

It will need to be collected from Camden but were close to bus, tube, and silverlink.

Cheers,

Dave

I just joined the forum to get this bike - can't PM as a new member, but emailed you instead (I think/hope).

Sold to Jol.

Cover = blown.
Looks like I'll have to put up with the shit that hippy gets now.
Yup...the poor T.Pena is hanging up it's mallet to be reburbished.
Bring on the Pengster!

hippy doesn't get any shit. hippy rides the cuntster and talks about himself in the 3rd person.

Fuck I'm lazy.. the Condor isn't even unwrapped yet. Never gonna sell the WAC machine at this rate.

I did ask!!

I know.. I know.. but I'm still crashing riding it.

Maybe you can sell me some Sug75's.

black ones.. brand new.. what's the going rate + £100? :)

Hmmm, too dear for the Pengster.
