Since those photographs were taken the headset has been serviced and the bottom bracket shell faced.
I built it up like this:
This is an "original" Langster I believe- basing that on the small amount of black paint left in the welds, visible in the photograph of it on the scale.
The bike as I had it built is great fun- one of those bikes that just feel fast, even when you are simply spinning along.
It's stiff enough to leap forward when you put more effort in, but doesn't beat you up (unlike my alloy CX bike, oddly).
I've also gone round Regents Park faster on this than on my road bike, based on an average over an hour for each bike- and I was trying fairly hard each time.
I'm only selling this because I've just bought a Cannondale track frame (a CAAD5 rather than the one everyone obsesses about).
