Langster / Langster Pro / Langster Steel

^ This.

I don't really understand what the issue is with them.

If it were me, knowing what I know (and prefer) now, I'd buy the alu because of the carbon forks/ahead, and rack mounts.

But from looking at the specs, you've got a Reynolds 520 frame, sugino cranks, and a solid looking wheelset. So there's nothing topend, but for the money it looks solid and good quality. Plus it has a nice retro look to it.

I especially don't see why the plugs (RRP ~£550!) get so much love compared to langsters.

Just my 2p.

yeah i've had one for three years, just run it till things start to go and then gradualy upgrade to nicer parts...
