    I'm looking at getting a Langster to replace my stolen Bowery. Couple of questions.

    Do I need to be concerned about the CF fork? I'm ~108kg

    Does it have clearance for mudguards?

    Any other comments?

    I have mine a week and I'm really enjoying riding it. Only done about 150k on it so far, but it's very comfortable.

    There is a really annoying clunking coming from the BB, crank or rear wheel which Cycleways have been unable to fix so far.

    I'm 120kg and everything seems to be holding up to the weight. Just hoping the lump sitting on the saddle isn't the cause of the clanking :)


    There was one 54 left in Cycleways last Saturday, but I forgot to take a look at the rack today. Might be worth giving them a ring tomorrow morning.

    No. At my heaviest I was 98kg (about 88kg now), have done thousands of kms on the bike over the last three years and the CF fork is still going strong.

    Yes. SKS race blades would porbably be the best option

    Great bike. Very happy with mine. Can't afford justify replacing it.

    Cheers folks. I'm pricing it now. Looking like I might go to Pearsons yet again.

    Pearson's have some very tempting fixed gear bikes of their own. Good time to find out just how flexible is your flexible friend.
