A couple of days ago you said that a steel Langster is not a bad bike to start on.
I would like to add that it is not a bad bike to finish on either.
After 65 years of riding fixed, I now have 15 bikes in my garrage. 11 of them are fixed.
Six are Langsters, (4 alloy and 2 steel)
I also have a Steamroller, a Genesis Flyer, a Condor track bike, an old Dawes and an old Claud Butler.
By law of averages, if I ride all the bikes equally, which I try to do, then I ride the Langsters more than the others.
I only wish that 50 and 60 years ago, when I was riding seriously, that there had been bikes like the Langster around then.
Although there were some good bikes around then, the average bloke like myself couldn't afford them. I know that I could never think about buying a "new" bike, I had to make do with second hand and the people that had the good bikes, hung onto them.
