For sale is my 2009, Specialized Langster, fixed gear bike.  I bought this bike to speed up my seven mile commute, which I was doing on a mountain bike at the time.  I’ve ended up using it for everything from Time Trials to 100 mile sportives.  This bike makes you feel like an athlete; you just can’t ride it slowly.  It really is just great fun.

Originally, it was supplied with deep section wheels and a flip-flop rear hub, giving the option to ride fixed gear or single speed.  When the originals gave up, I replaced them with Mavic Open Pro rims on Miche Primato deep flange track hubs, offering a significant upgrade from the originals.  The rear hub now has one fixed sprocket only and cannot be ridden single speed.  The tyres are Bontrager Racelite Hardcase.  The rear brake calliper and lever have been removed, but will be supplied.  The original chainring and sprocket have been replaced with Velo-Solo components to achieve my preferred gear ratio but, again, will be supplied. 

Original components include:  Suguino Zen Messenger cranks, carbon fibre fork and gorgeous chromed steel track bars.  The stem has been lowered but the steerer tube hasn’t been cut, so you can raise it up again if wished.  Shimano SPD clipless pedals.

Condition wise, the bike certainly looks used but there are no dents or nasty scratches, just an accumulation of the usual scuffs and small stone chips.  I suppose I would describe it as ‘Very Good' but not excellent.

Bike will have wheels, pedals, and possibly handlebars removed for careful posting in a bike box.  Please note:  I am away from home between 5/8 and 8/8 so will be unable to answer questions at this time.  I will make every effort to take queries from 8/8 onwards.

Good Luck!
