 | The new look for my old langster... Well thanks to everyone who gave me good advice on restyling the old bird. Although late, i promised to show you the result. This is what it looked like.. (London Southend Heartfoundation run)  Worth mentioning: Shiny black - Armourtex Hackney - About £50, got the nice price since they actually wanted more for aluframes.. Lovely guys! Wheels - Longleaf bikes USA. velocity - Phil rear hub - Formula front. The guy there Chris (i think) was super helpful and even reduced the stated value down to $150 dollars or so to help ease the VAT. Major issues. The headset bearing cups. Needed pro help to push them back in... It now weighs in at 8,5kilograms  Well i have since moved from the big smoke after 8 years of mayhem, and find myself in little Oslo.. And yes I cycled the bike all the way from London to Oslo.. The route was London - Harwich (ferry) Esbjerg - Vejle - Viborg - Frederikshavn (ferry) Oslo. 4 Days of cycling in all. Lovely ride but would have been even better with some company... Along the way:  I do miss London from time to time....... Give us a ding-dong if you come to norway.. South London Rocks! Herman BTW I´m super happy with the thing. I recommend this bike for anyone who wants a low-cost low maintenance FG/SS bike you want to do some serious milage with. And its super fast!
