My old one, now sadly with someone else, I miss it but my knees definitely dont!

I'll mostly be using mine to commute on the flat, but I'll probably tan the trannys up redstone rig on it too.

Just the one? I though more folk would have pics or at least an opinion on the awesome Langster?

Had mine for ~7 years now, this is the original geometry version, apparently. Been running it fixed for 6 years. Used to have 48:18 but moved to an in-town commute with lots of stop/starts, so dropped it to a 42:18. It's had a new pair of wheels, and it's onto it's 3rd drivetrain. 4th set of bottom bracket bearings too.

Love it. Total beast of burden; it gets shown little love. And it still works.

I have one, its pretty sha99ed now...but then the only love it's had is new brake pads (normally about a fortnight after I hear the metal on metal sound) and a new pair of tyres.

been using it to commute on for the last 2 1/2 - 3 years, it's now dirty, grimy, rusty, rattly, clicky, creaky, scratched and dented but it still works!

I'm quite fond of it in a weird way...

Used daily

Picked this up the other week. Quite enjoying it, it's first road bike too.

You call them Langsters? THIS is a Langster (though sadly not mine)

I had one for a while, new owner has now thrown a lot of money at it - it's lovely!

Not getting used much at the moment as fed up with having to dodge potholes 👿

Love mine. Use it mostly for commuting. a lighter set of wheels will be going on soon.

My commuter.
It's only 18miles each way (it's killing me)

Photo from last Wednsday during a small snow shower. Could be my favourite bike 😀

the Langster is pretty cool. My mates who ride road bikes properly creamed themselves when I told them I was getting one.

Oooft, these all look far to nice! Haven't got any full photos of mine but here's a couple I've taken recently, she's on her third winter....

Loads of life left in this!

All still running fine aye?

Great choice of bike , considering your previous dubious choices. You will no doubt hamper 'Spesh' sales in the Embra area when your seen lumbering around in your pyjama bottoms and green fleece. 😆

Does look like a class bike though.

I sold mine. Wish I hadn't. That was a great bike.

Shit wheels mind,

I've ordered some glow in the dark bark tape. ****ing get in!

Always seem to be older langsters coming up on eBay. What are they like as commuters in terms of mudguards and racks? Proper mounts?

Commute is a flattish 12 miles each way, a light fast singlespeed sounds an idea

Lansgter Steel, sold it a few years ago when I moved to the mountains but I liked it in the city.

Yoda, everything still turns. Feels like peddaling in water though! Only maintenance in 3 years has been tightening/shortening the chain and changing brake pads. There are rack mounts on the back but non on front, got a race blade on the front (which is tight) and just use the rack as a mud guard.

I love mine, also got a Giant TCR that just isn't doing it for me 'cos this thing just feels so natural.

This Langster was my first road bike (hence the less-than-slammed stem in the below pic). Wish I'd never sold it, way more fun than a geared bike. Kind of tempted to fix up my CAAD8, sell it then get another, the silver ones look so awesome. Are they still good value at new price? I got mine for £200 2nd hand.

And a "proper" photo for good measure

Not really enough room for proper mudguards - hence my SKS raceblades in the picture above.
I have had a rack on it in the past for commuting and a bit of touring. (No idea where the rack is, I think I might have lent it to someone...) I had to do a bit of trimming on the chain tug to get the rack to clear it, the mounts are quite close to the axle.

Here's mine, nichest fixie ever?

Not sure about racks but I fitted a set of Crud Roadracer 2 guards to mine...
