Langster / Langster Pro / Langster Steel

It's definitely the people that buy them.. they're all twats.. especially this cunt..

I heart Langster threads..

Stripping your bike down and putting in the washing machine shows true dedication to bike maintenance.

It's wayne's washing machine.. you should know I don't do bike maintenance ;)

How's this: Prav said my bike is QUIET?! Can you fscking believe this?!?! ;)

i have no idea how they ride but they look fucking GAY

At least you don't have to clean them every morning to keep them looking slave. :)

I think the geometry has gotten slacker - the 06's look a lot tighter than the poo brown/london langsters.

If I were you Ed, I'd go for the racing green ones (current model) - I've only seen one on the road, looked pretty good in motion.

As for their quality, I've seen a fair few curryers riding them - they're light cheap and durable.

But I'd go for the fuji, cos it's even more cheap and probably just as durable.

(P.S., did you get my PM with anna's number?)

asm I'm not even going for a specialized bike! I'm actually talking with Fixed Gear London about them building me a bike instead of getting an off-the-peg bike.

yeah I did get her number too, thanks!

The black ones (06 and earlier I think) had pretty tight geometry. The brown ones and later got slacker geometry and a carbon fork.

This is mine.

Was an ugly london one but changed a few things around, have couriered on it for 6 months, hasnt let me down and has taken a beating.
Gonna hand it down to my girl and get a steel frame track bike next round.

That Langster is gorgeous, and I never thought I'd says this.

Flat tyre, chain is tight though.

Put a decent set of wheels and some nice pedals on it and the Langster is one of the best a-b bikes you can get, its light, strong and comfy. Its not everyones cup of tea looks wise, but its a good bit of kit for a daily comuter

Fuck ! Is this the backlash I have been waiting for ? This time next year vintage (2006-7) Langsters will be the new lo-pro.

There has always been a Langster element to my music.

You wait T-Bone, the Cunster is gonna be in a museum in a couple of years. Work of art it is! :)

You're going to get a job doing IT work for the Tate group?

Anything's possible in this crazy reality you're projecting..

There's nothing crazy about my realities, projected or otherwise.

It's everyone else that's mental.

You mean sleek, stylish and effortlessly cool? I think we're talking about different bikes...

That's what I keep telling the guards here..

i have been hacking around on a 2006 langster for last 7 months or so and have loved it, have to say i have added and changed a fair few bits though to make it more to my liking. forks, stem, bars, pedals, levers, seat post, saddle etc etc but great bike in my experience......

Surely now the London Langster is so hated it will soon transcend the fickle, transient barriers of fashion and emerge..................... uber cool!
(No I don't own one, but I'm thinking about it. If only to elicit scathing looks and verbal abuse, surely that will qualify me as part of a counter-culture? I may even wear a suit too!)

I loved my Langster had it for three years ..nice grey 05 one but I cracked the frame haggis hunting up the highlands :(

i'm sure they ride really well, but probably not as well as a bob jackson. i suspect they're more practical than a fuji in entry level terms, but again, not as nice.

they do different jobs.

i own a langster for pissing into/out of and around town and a bob jackson for "special" use.

the langster is a really good fun, cheap-ish, strong and comfortable bike for me to get around on (50 mile round trips usually, if not more) and the bob is ideal for going to the velodrome.

i know langsers are ugly as all hell, but i quite like that! i've taped over the logos just to make it look a bit rattier than it really is and it gets left alone when locked up.

all good in my opinion.

Am I missing sommit, looks like a bike to me, looks like a good bike, in racing green, and why you all saying £400 is cheap? I am looking to buy me a single speed with the option of fixie and Iam pretty gutted at the prices of them, if I paid £400 for the Langster and some bugger said "hey, thats cheap" I would twat em one. When I was a kid (now aged 40), we all cut our teeth on our Dads single/fixed geared steal racing bikes, we would kind of inherit them, put great big cow bars on em and spend all day doing wheelies up and down the street trashing the wheels etc, it cost us bugger all bar the odd slap around the ear, see that Plug Freestyler, looks like what we used to make-up ourselves so we could trash it (apart from the fancy wheels), £400, I think the manufacturers are trying to market DIY street stuff, idiots, and all these fixie diehards who turn their noses up at folk on Langsters etc are also idiots, fixed gear has been around for a long time now, alot longer than these snobby eejits, you make use of what you got and what you like, and if some 20 year old twat headed courier calls me a poser or a wobbler on my (soon to come, off the peg via evans cycle to work scheme) fixie, Iam gonna ram me bike pump down his throat and slot me bicycle trouser clips around his neck, whilst remembering not to stop pedalling!

Right on Sidney!

The really big cow horn bars would develop fatigue cracks from too much wheelying and leave you in a real mess when they failed.

that's why.
