| Specialized Langster? I went into my local bike store to talk to someone about the possibility of building up a fixed gear bike. After giving me some good advice on what to look for for doing it on the cheap with used equipment, he mentioned that Specialized was coming out with the Langster singlespeed bike sometime soon. While it came as a singlespeed, he claimed it had a flip-flop hub and could be easily configured as a fixed-free. The picture in their Specialized catalog definitely showed multiple brakes on it. I couldn't tell if it had braze-ons for water bottles, etc. The price seemed pretty good: $440 MSRP according to the Specialized website. Has anyone seen this bike yet? Opinions? Looks like it might be a great way to get a new fixed or singlespeed bike. -alan -- Alan Hoyle - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] "I don't want the world, I just want your half." -TMBG Get Horizontal, Play Ultimate. |

This is what I thought, too, and so I jumped over to their site ... looks kinda neat (although not necessarily as beefy as I would want for what I had in mind), but alas, only goes up to 62cm. Story of my cycling life. Sigh, a big guy |
