what a huge pile of shit . triumph of marketing over common sense .

+1 . spot on pistaboy

I stand completely corrected . and thanks rpm , I do love it and dont give a fuck , all I wanted to do was get a handle on the way people think . I didnt expect the spanish inquisition .

Ok fred , point taken . was just wondering was all .
actually are no tektro bits . ultegra bits , halo track wheels easton stem and profile bullhorns fsa cranks ( dura ace on order ) and a carbon aero post .
am a bit new here so please forgive my ignorance , however have been a mountain biker 4 ages and also a bit of a roadie . will try and fit in given time !

I ride a langster ( please dont give me any grief !! ) ss at moment . as I bought as a frameset and built up to my own spec does this mean OTP , or is it " custom " .
does OTP mean walk into bike shop and walk out ready to ride job done or what ?
Although I bought frame and forks brand spanking and dirt cheap , eventual build was significantly more than said stock specialized . OTP or not ?

is anyone coming to the cyclefest at blenheim palace on the 28th ? would be good to meet up with people for those who dont live in the smoke .

ok , ok .but are we going for a ride or not ?

Or maybe bromptons .
should have looked at the blurb .
Fancy doing the time trial on my langster !

sounds like a good day out . I think some mad people may be racing moultons while dressed in a suit .

see you in september , give us a shout when you get here .

thats the s works langster . can be bought as a frameset for $1100 , but spesh uk dont bring them into the uk . ( I already checked ) they will do if you order 250 !! according to my local specialized dealer ......

hello to you both , just discovered oxford cycle workshop after they sorted my bodged headset fitting on my Langster . would love to hook up , am based in abingdon up the road . not running fixed as too accident prone but ridden ss mtbs for a while and now got aforementioned spesh langster ss a,d would be up for alley cats and critical mass and various rides into the countryside etc .
let me know

As Fred says , the bowery does seem like really good value , and pearsons are good people to deal with ( bought my Langster frame and forks from them , arrived next day as promised and are full of good advice ) and Giant bikes are top notch in my book ( got a TCR road bike myself ) , cant help thinking that there are some really good deals on Langsters tho , lighter than the Bowery and we do need people to stick up for them on here !!

Neither was I , make friends with your local bike shop / mechanic .

Langster , all day long . Buy one of the cheap new 07 frames that seem to be around ( Pearsons had some for £100 ! ) and spec it yourself . spent about £ 500 all told on mine ( with bullhorns and other shiny bits , halo track wheels ,ultegra calipers etc ) and it weighs as much as an angels fart and goes like greased weasel shit *

nb may offend purists .

• for the money
  

is a 29er , so wheels are right size ( ish )

have got a s/s mountain bike frame and forks for that sort of money . brand spanking as well .
