After not riding for a long time I needed to get back on a bike. Luckily picked this one up locally for $240 complete with the Velocity's. Previous owner(s) stripped the beautiful red paint job and fabulously gave it a shitty grape purple paint job. Ain't mad though, I've been wanting a Steel Langster for some time now and got it for a decent deal. My future plans include making it a faux-NJS ride. Next steps are to upgrade the cranks to either IRD Defiants or Sugino 75's, Nitto RB-010's, Mavic Open Pros. Maybe a trispoke for funsies. Don't mind the shitty iPhone photos for now, I don't think it's quite ready for a real shoot yet.

Current Stage Info:
Sold the Velocities as I didn't like the deepness in them, wanted something cheaper to beat up and more low profile and lowkey. Used extra money from selling the Velocities to fund the Pasela gumwalls.
