Finally my 2010 Specialized Langster has arrived. It showed up at the shop Thursday. We were wicked busy and I tried not to think about it too much, sitting in that box, waiting to be built.
Friday was my day off. I got into work at quarter to 8 am hoping to build 'er up. Only to find out somebody needed to go do 40 tune ups at Timberland company headquarters starting in an hour.
I got done at 7:15pm and headed back to the shop. I got the lights on in the shop and finally dug the box out of the pile of boxes in the garage. In the stand, I noticed the Langster and Specialized logos and in fact, all markings on the frame were sort of cheap looking adhesive decals. That was a bit of a disappointment. They had to come off. They looked so... flimsy?
I started swapping out OEM parts for my preferences. Sugino Messanger cranks off. FSA Pro Carbon crankset with Sugino Black Zen chainring, gold Sugino chainring bolts on. Langster fork off. Specialized Tarmac Elite fork on. Aluminum seatpost off. SWorks carbon post on. I'm waiting on gold spoke nipples and a track cog. EAI Gold Medal or VeloSolo gold anodized aluminum?
Pictures will follow soon...
