  • So am I, every single post I make will have the word langster in it at least once for the foreseeable future.

    I missed my Langster - was same as yours - thats why i bought the Alf off you!

    I would go for the S Works Langster out of those, but would go for a Fuji Track Pro above them all:

  • holy smoke, dont hold back why don't ya?
    Straight in there with top trumps. Anyone ? No i didnt think so :)

  • those bikes are all set up the same. why? like, it seems pointless to me. I'm not trying to be a dick, but every one of my bikes are set up at least somewhat different. i mean theyre all gorgeous but sheesh.

    also i'd say the cinelli or the Specialized. giant has always been kinda poopy.

  • those bikes are all set up the same. why? like, it seems pointless to me. I'm not trying to be a dick, but every one of my bikes are set up at least somewhat different. i mean theyre all gorgeous but sheesh.

    That's exactly what I was thinking.

  • Bianchi's are nigh on impossible to get hold of new. Unless you wanna pay extortionate import costs. They are lovely though. So I would get the Cinelli. However when spending a large deal of money on a frame I would always recommend you have a go on one before you buy, just in case. I had my heart set on a Condor Lavoro until I rode one and lost all sensation in my body due to its stiffness!

  • I think you can get them imported but that adds $$$

    pista concepts discontinued for 2009...

  • cinelli cinelli cinelli I heart cinelli's

    theres a cheap koga on sale at a shop just along from aldgate tube
    bike magic ? not sure what frame but they've had it in there a while and is discounted
    however i do remember groping someones ( wes ? )'s koga at the snow once and i'm sure i could dent the tubing with my fingers seemed very skinny aluminium not the type of frame you would want to put in a bike pile.

  • I like the look of the Cinelli/MASH framest...

    waits for someone to make a fucking stupid 'hipster' comment

  • @sano - I like it too. A lot.

  • Celeste Bianchi = Double spok fail
    White Bianchi = Front Tri-Spoke pass, at highest level

    Buy a Cinelli

  • those bikes are all set up the same. why? like, it seems pointless to me. I'm not trying to be a dick, but every one of my bikes are set up at least somewhat different. i mean theyre all gorgeous but sheesh.

    .

    I was thinking the same thing! overkill.

    I would go with bianchi or cinelli. I have friends with both, and they commute amoungst other things daily, and they all say amazing things about them. To narrow it down, cinelli would be my choice.

  • firstly its a stupid question, are you buying the bike for yourself or others approval?
    Secondly all of them will be similar they're all aluminium track frames
    Maybe check geometries is this is where the most difference is likely to occur

    and the only bianchi easily available in the UK will be this one

    actually i love that bike, low pro without the discomfort of one.

    the only hipster comment i'll make is; hipster price.

  • Edwardes have the Giant at much cheepness.

    £299, IIRC.

    S and L only, I think.

  • Are you thinking about swapping the frame for one of your ridiculous hats?
