Why do people fit trackends to old frames? Because they are heavier duty and more horizontal?
I'm set on the Langster chaps... Thanks for the help. Hoping the seller and I will be able to work something out to meet up. I did some more research, and apparently the frame is just 3.5lb! The Langster is heavy because of the wheels I read, and these have been changed for Charge Plug wheels... I don't know if they are any lighter, can't find much info, but still it seems a good frame, with some nice components. Hoping it'll be really light and nippy, and the tyres aren't too wide. Thinking a more conventional stem, with possibly some flatter bars, and some grips, a front brake, and a different saddle maybe.
The seller gave me some more information via PM, and I replied earlier saying I want it, so fingers crossed - waiting for a reply in the morning :D
Thanks for the help. I'll be sure to keep you updated.
