Went to go look at a Specialized Langster off of GumTree last night:

I may be completely wrong but it seemed a little dodgy. I asked to meet the bloke somewhere easy for us both to get to so he said head towards shoreditch and give him a ring. Anyway, I ended up at his flat block without being mugged, raped or pillaged so I gave him another call, a little pissed off. He said he would be down in a minute which ended up being more like 15. The bike was not like he described. It looked old and a bit more hagard than his "Excellent condition" description.
He seems to have put the same bike up again yesterday with the same photo but for £10 more.
So if anyone has lost a Langster 2011 which has been used a bit (i.e. there is wear on the grip tape and the chain is getting a little old) go check this one out.
Again, it could just be me being sceptical but it's better to be safe than sorry.
