  Don't worry, I'm not sensitive, and I don't give a FF if people don't like the bike - I was just interested in people's views and suggestions for improvements. I've had 2 fixies in the past year (shouldn't I use that word :)) am old Raleigh conversion and then briefly an On One Pomp.

  [Sits back awaiting the next smart reply :)]

  You ordered a bicycle, and then ask if it's any good?

  Surely it should be the other way round?

  Fair point. I guess you've never acted on impulse and then wondered what people think. I'll make my own mind up when it arrives - but I don't get it for a few days so wondered what people think.

  There is already a thread for the Langster Steel.

  Ah, sussed the acronym - sorry I'm clearly a bit dense.

  Having said that, the thread started in May 2008 and there are 888 posts!

  Its a raleigh ace. Not a record or a road ace, just the bogo one. I have the same thing in my shed right now, though mine looks a bit bigger in the top tube (54st 57tt).
  Mine rides nice but is in horrific visual conditon and I made it worse to make it less stealable. Mine had black & white chequered decals on it (factory) so I was guessing it was probably early - mid 70's 1974 was the year mentioned to me. I'm basing this on th similar front lugs and general proportions :)

  Thanks mate, that's great.

  I'm surprised how nice the ride feels (ooh errr)

  I've just bought a Turbo Trainer and now want a bunch of cycling VIDS to watch on my laptop whilst sat in the garage.

  I'd like some trainer vids but also any cycling related stuff.

  Anyone got any going?

  Cheers

  Don't know, but the seller left the headset races in when he powdercoated it!

  Judging by the clearances and pie-plate on the back wheel I'd say a pretty low-end gaspipe model. Possibly not orignal forks.

  Thanks - it seems to ride okay for a very old low-end bike, or maybe I am just not very discerning :)
