Powder coated the blackest black they do by the lovely folks at Armortex,this is a 2006 Langster which has sharper geomety than the current incarnation. The rear brake guides were removed by the fine folk at Mend a Bike in Fulham prior to powdercoating, so now as smooth as a babys bum, whilst retaining the mounts for guards/racks if you so require.
Running the original Alex 32H wheelset, which has only done about 500 miles as i took em off for something a bit more HHSB like. The wheels are shod whith 700 x 25 Armidillos, which have a fair bit of life in them yet, and its running a 18t on the ss and a 17t of the fixed side of the hub
Fitted with cut down Easton alloy flat bars, brand new Specialized lock on grips and a brand new Madison saddle. It currently has an all black Goldfinger powering the stock front brake, but i will swap this for a Dirty Harry if the buyer prefers.
I have also fitted a new Andel 170mm 48t crankset which matches the powdercoat, and some black bmx pedals.
Also included are the bars and grips in the pic below, plus the rear brake, original drop bars, saddle, pedals and other bits and bobs if you want them.
Here is the link to the specialized website with all the specs

I was full intending to HHSB this up, but when the opportunity to buy Eyebrows Condor arose i couldnt pass it up, so the Langster has to move on.
Looking for 230 quid, the bike has done less than 100 miles since returning from powdercoating, and having all the new parts fitted, and can be viewed in Fulham.
