yes, sorry for old fashioned, fascistic hatred, much of what you say is undeniably true, happy riding, etc.

gritted teeth, whacking myself repeatedly in the face with a big scaffolding bar until the skin feels like a bag of kindling.

i think the new spazz langsters are a horrible, woeful exercise in specious marketing.

increasingly i seem to be alone in this.

style over substance, the perfect bike for a media-mulleted ad-whore living in shoreditch, or possibly a foxtons estate agent, to place next to their grafitti-clad mini.

Right on the money Peejay. The Langster London is an abortion. But I take my hat of to them for their copywriting skills displayed at the bottom of this description. Should I tell the US-based copywriters or should you:

ah. I saw one of these in Richmond Park on Saturday. Awful looking bike. The owner had pitched the bars up to about 45 degrees above horizontal, which didn't help.

And looking on the photo of it, what's that written on the chain stay? Please don't say it's 'God Save the Queen'.

Christ, that bike belongs in the tourist tat shops outside Tottenham Court Road tube.

The NYC Langster appears to say "Driver Carries Less Than $80 Cash"

Allegedly the non-drive side says "...because he paid too much for this tat".

'Fraid so! Nicer if it said "God save Queen, Bicycle,bicycle"
It's got the Landan underground map on the downtube.

jeez, seeing it 'in situ' as opposed to just the standard shot in front of the white screen, well, it reinforced quite how ugly this bike is.


You couldn't pay me to have that. starting with the ugliest geometry out there, you descend to that rubbish chainset.

truly ugly.......
