Sometimes you really find the likeness of seatstays and aluminum. Sometimes you just get turned onto the reality that a bike has “longhorn” handlebars and a swanky Zen, all black, urban-looking ride. I don’t know if there is such a thing as “swanky Zen OR all black, urban-looking ride,” but this bike has surely taken my breath away! Not many inanimate things do! I think it was love at first sight–something that only the winter of 2008 has convinced me of. Before January, I don’t know that I could’ve said that love at first sight existed! Well, Specialized [I love their stuff] has topped me with their Langster models! And, Johnny Sprockets had one 49″ left [that's my size]–long legs for my height, but I’m short–I got power legs though! I can pedal with the best of them!
Take a look:
From their site:
Velodrome/Fixed-Gear Road
SPEED DEMON Built for rallying city streets and lapping racers at the velodrome, the LangsterTM is as gutsy a ride as it gets-pure and simple, yet fast as hell. Sometimes one speed is all you need.
Inside Tech
Making a bike look as fast as it rides isn’t always the easiest thing. But this year our designers went over the top to give the Langster the style and personality it really deserves. Representing some of the greatest cities in the world, this year’s Langsters include colorways for London, Chicago, Seattle, New York and Boston.
This Langster could out-race Al Capone and his gang any day. Replete with bullhorn handlebars and a matte black finish with skyline view, our Chicago Langster flies like a bullet, even through the infamous Windy City.

iRobyn dot com is the virtual web space for me to spend time blogging|researching, an opportunity to post my reading lists, and a place to house my academic thoughts.
iRobyn is rooted in the theories and practices of theological feminism[s], seeks to be faithful to culture gazing and navel gazing, is commited to being a critical social player and critic of society. Additionally, the work found on this site is a thoughtful, intentional, and critical response to the intersections of culture, gender, race and class. I seek out narrative and want to celebrate the ritual of narrative in a variety of ways, from a theological perspective to gender, politics, & culture. This site is about creating and celebrating the passion of narrative which is all rooted in the passion of friendship. I begin & end at a place of Social Ethics via the discipline of Theology.
