I’ve trawled the web to try and answer this, and the pictures suggest otherwise (I know I could call a dealer tomorrow, but I want to know now!!).

Does anyone know if the 2011 Specialized Langster comes with brake leavers on the drop with proper hoods please?

looks like its just suicide brakes only now on 2011 onwards, think the 2010 alu ones might have had the hood set up. my langster monaco just had suicide brakes but its easy and cheap enough to just swap em over.
