Specialised Langster 2016, Black 61cm

BenG says:

I like it. Of course it depends on what you are looking for. Aesthetically its actually not too bad for a modern frame. Particularly compared to some of the earlier Langsters, which were terribly compact, had a horrible fork and looked like design gone wrong, especially in my size. This one is not too compact, has the straight fork blades and the top tube looks actually pretty cool in the flesh. Just the down tube is a little bit too fat for my liking. As far as the ride quality goes, it feels light and stiff. Also, it has steep angels and is quite nimble. Though it is probably more on the fragile side, e.g. when I look at how thin the down tube feels or how skinny the seat and chain stays are. And having a carbon fork... I don't use it as a beater. All in all I'd say its reasonable value for money, if you are looking for a more light or modern take on a single speed. HTH
