JUst saying hello

flickwg [quote]ras [quote]flickwg just thought that i would join this thread as it seems quite relevant to me. I'm a newbie like ras.
I was getting annoyed with gears so tried SS, got the same as Ras, but mines a 61, great so far
You'll know its mine by the red bandanna by the seat tube lock (bot sure what it is exactly called) Havent yet made it to any rides but hope to at some point, feeling a bit daunted by the ridicule of my langster
have you gone fixed yet?[/quote]

no not yet, it doesn't suit me at present, i think at some point i will try how about u?
yep, fixed for a few months now cant go back, tried a freewheel again about a month ago just felt wrong. I actually ditched the freewheel cog off the langster now no need for it

Hey Ras welcome along.

Hi guys. I'd wear the Langster badge with pride if I were you. Anyone who ridicules you for it is someone not worth knowing. Make no apologies for your bike.

PPL here are just poking fun but I guarantee that most of them would happily ride one if required. From what I've seen they're pretty good bikes but fairly common. Nowt wrong with that in my book. They become less desirable and thus less nickable. Who cares what the bike looks like really? The street is not a catwalk.

I've seen a cat walk on my street before.

seconded about the langsters...

and i apologise for any snobby comments made, both retrospectively and in advance.

I have a Langster and actually quite like the way it handles, but have still not reconciled myself to the poo colour. It's hard to imagine any colour less appealing. If anybody figures out a cheap way of repainting it, let me know.

Being a self confessed bike maintenance disaster (well maybe more of a severe weather warning), I only really had the "buy one already built" route open to me. I did try to build one up and still have a hankering to revive my father in law's old holdsworth, but I should really just be happy to leave it in one slightly working piece.

I looked at the new green langster, felt like a nice bike.
