if you're talking about this, sorry no frame and fork option;



if you're talking about the chrome lugged celeste frame with straight fork, don't think we'll get it, and it's likely to cost near a grand.

Cheers Ed. I'm looking for a aesthetically nice, cheap modern frame to butcher. Couldn't do it to an older frame with history, whereas a mass produced 'in taiwan' frame allows all the guilt free butchering one can throw at it.

That depends on whether it is sold as a frameset seperately, as some bikes/frames are. Not many I would agree though.
Would probably come in at around £300 which would put most off as the whole bike is not much more..

can you actually buy it now? Someone from Evans trying to get a confirmed date for me with the head office, but it doesn't sound promising as they keep changing the due date. And isn't the complete bike for 500? 450 for the standard langster (the black one).

I wish On One had taken some advice on the graphics for the Poacher... They really shoulda gone the whole hog with the old-skool branding... Missed opportunity IMHO, nice little frame... Don't forget the forks are extra...

Not just the Poacher but the Pompino as well, the new graphic on those just look cheap and tatty.

i imagine it is available frameset only as it is supposedly NJS certified? i think they'd be pretty stupid to not release a cheap NJS frame. or is that some other steel langster that cost a bomb?

the lincolnshire poacher has some really nice lugwork and luglining

They called it Langster. But it looks completely different and it's made from a different material. wtf.

I like the horizontal top tube though, i think its going to sell well. They should have lugged it though for proper old school-ness. And the chain guard is ghey.

Thank you JAMIE. You might laugh, but my London Langster is a 56... don't know what I was thinking. But with this steel one, no way I could handle anything bigger than a 54. Totally different frames...

I really like the steel Langster. I don't love the fact thats it's a specialized (irrational brand hatred) but looks good and I'm sure it'l' ride well. Be better than my peugeot beater anyway.

I saw that steel Langster in Putney cycle yesterday, interesting I thought, I was told it was a bit heavy (Reynolds Cro-Mo 520 - I think it is 520, not 100/100 sure).
The chromes are a little bit cheap on the fork, it's a bit "raw", but O/A looks quite nice... I'd like to see how it looks like in large version (62cm)...
I don't know if Bianchi are still doing their chrome pista and if it is still in that price range, but if it is the case, the Bianchi still wins I feel...

It's funny, the langster is the big specialized awaited push, but I think the Globe Roll is a better frame.

Apparently, Specialized doesn't like shorter people, or they think shorter people can wait longe... 52cm isn't available till early Jan 10... so I was told by all the bike shops who picked up their phone.
