I recently bought a specialized langster off a mate after being told that they were pretty good bikes (i currently ride a raleigh flyer which i converted)
having ridden the langster a couple of times i decided that i didnt really like it, so i have nicked the cranks and varies other bits off it and decided
to sell the remaining parts.

"i thought" i made a perfect legit comment i wasnt prepared to get shit for it. -
argh! apologies one and all thats what i get for posting at work and not paying attention. thanks for pointing it out!
-
would someone care to explain thread etiquette on how not to be called an idiot? i didnt think stating the fact i liked the bike and would be interested in the wheels would be deemed a stupid comment.
Next i will post a wanted in the for sale section and watch you lot get your knickers in a twist! -
i like them, Nice bike! i would be interested in one (or two depending on the cash) of the wheels though, if you decide to split.
-
it was good, v windy but really good fun. it wasnt too bad doing it fixed as there was plenty of refreshments/pubs along the way. it was all about getting the medal at the end!
-
Yeah im doing it too, i'll be the one riding the blue and white flat bar rally. should be good even though the weather is supposed to be shit!
-
yeah pic's would be good?
-
well i was looking at an aerospoke wheel which i dont have the cash for to buy brand new and wanted to get some advice on what to look for and how much that wheel is worth etc?
-
hey guys, quick question- is the front wheel any good?
-
i ride with a 50 upfront and a 16 dura-ace out back, its hard at first but you get used to it proper quick. plus on the down hills your not pedalling like made man.
-
Fair shout, i think i will just to be on the safe side. i was gonna say that i will be posting my route if anyone wanted to tag along even part of the way, the plan is to leave on the 27th of july and return on the 3rd of august.
-

On my bike only rolling with a front brake! My bro is ridding ss with front/back brake, the plan is to ride from dieppe to le Harve along the coast then down to le mans, then from le mans to paris and back to dieppe. were planning on touring for 8 days at the end of july.
-
im planning on touring on fixed around france in a couple of weeks- 430 miles, im glad though ive opted for a flip flop hub otherwise it could be a bit crazy. As for taking stuff with me im just gonna rock a Backpack as i dont fancy bombing down hill with a trailer attached.
-
dont bother with the thames path, i live in woolwich mate and if you planning on getting to work for nine you will need to leave really early if riding the thames path. i would go will the route tommy suggested, ive done it before and i find that if you leave a bit earlier its not so busy. we should meet for a beer as i dont no any local forum lads!
-
Hey guys, you still up for meeting monday?
-
yeah, i'll be riding fixed and my bro will be riding a road bike- im doing it fixed on the assumption that holland is flat.
-
no im from london- where everyone is supposedly fashionable, like to keep it simple just like riding about with mates trying a few trick etc. just wondered because it never seems like there to many people about, im suprised i thought with all the hills and shite there would be loads of people.
im pretty new to fixed riding always ridden road bikes before or skateboarded- i would like to say i havent jump on the "fashionable fixie" bandwagon but i thought it looked fun so i converted an old raleigh road bike to try it out and like it and the people seem pretty cool. -
That would be cool, whats the brighton scene like? i never see many fixies about!
-
Hey guys,
im trying to see if can get a load of local brighton fixie riders to meet up on the 11 May at the "Fortune of War", Im putting on a night called "Little Voyeurs" which is like and art/music night with local artists and bands performing- i thought it would be a cool time/place to see if we can get people down to have a beer and a bit of entertainment- plus im hoping to show "fast friday" on a screen while the bands are setting up, its doesnt cost anything to turn up. Anyone interested? -
Aleksi, yeah bud link just below:
-
I was thinking Hook of holland to Amsterdam-touristy i know but ive never been. Then Utrecht- dont really know why just i thought it would be a bit of a loop then down to Rotterdam.
nothing to hardcore thought it would be nice to take it easy, spend a couple of days in Amsterdam etc.
it would rough look something like this:

The De Rosa is amazing!
