    For £200? the 08 model, one year old.

    Think thats a good price?

    Is it a good bike?

    The 08 is the green one, isn’t it? That’s the one I’ve got. FANTASTIC bike, and that’s the best looking version they did IMO. The wheels needed a rebuild out of the box and I don’t trust Shimano freewheels so I put a WI on mine, but other than that I can’t fault it, especially for the money. Rides as nicely as my geared road bike that cost nearly three times as much. If it’s in good nick for £200 bite someone’s arm off.

    Its a size 54, which I think is right for me, I’m about 5″6, 5″7.

    I’m very very very tempted by this, so dont get your hopes up..

    54 would be too big for you IMO.

    Actually if you’re 5’6″ a 52 would probably be better.

    I have the Langster Monocco. The freewheel is crap and I swapped the cross top brakes for drop brakes. Other than that, It’s great.
    I’m 5’9″ and I have the 54cm. It’s just short enough. Any longer and it would be too big. I don’t fancy your chances of getting comfy on a 54cm if you’re 5’7″.

    Well my normal road bike at the moment is a 56, and although I know its too big for me, I’ve put a lot of miles into it, and got used to that sort of sizing.

    I had the ’07 model (loads better looking with skulls on the downtube). Really enjoyed riding it and got me into buying a proper road bike. £200 is a decent price, but don’t buy it unless it’s definitely the right size.

    Enjoy.

    Blue? It’s green on the bike and it’s green in that picture – either you’re colourblind or I’d spend the £200 on a new monitor instead.

    But yeah, that’s the one.
