 2017(?) Specialized Langster Durango. Bought it used for $200. I’m planning on buying some silver drop bars for it, otherwise leaving it as is for now. Edit: spent a good 45 minutes yesterday learning to skid in an empty parking lot. Holy smokes that’s a workout! |

I just bought a 6KU single gear. Other than crappy intertubes (the rubber kind) it seems like a decent bike.

More gears is better.

Nice looking ride; think I saw that on KSL ~ a week ago.
I've been looking for my first bike in 20 years and figured the race oriented geometry of the Langster would be less than ideal for a casual beginner. Interesting to see that it ended up with another arfcommer, enjoy it! |

I flip the hub on my Bianchi San Jose frequently. Fixed is a great way to train in my opinion.
Anyone ever MTB fixed? That's a whole 'nother world |

Put some silver drop bars and tape on it.
 Switched to a bar top brake as well. Now I can easily swap around the drops, bullhorns, and riser bars depending on my mood/riding style. No further plans at the moment except to ride it! |
