Need some help deciding which one to go for.

Really fancy a steel frame, but can't forget the Langster....Sputnik is stupi light for a steel frame, and the Rush Hour looks V nice....

Any advice would be appreciated.

The Langster is very light and very stiff. If I were you I'd build it up with your own kit though, mine had wheels that fell apart on it and the Specialized tyres were laughable. I say laughable but I wasn't laughing as I skidded along my arse on a roundabout with a car bumper three inches behind my head.

Rushour and Jamis are US only bikes, however the Rush Hour's geared equivalent, the Clubman, got a really nice review in this month's Bicycle Times.

There is. It's Dirt Rag for people who put mirrors on their handlebars and ride Bromptons.

aren't they german, KHS? the sloping TT doesn't look right to me. level or sloping down toward the front looks better IMO.
