My MTB singlespeed is too old, so have a track bike:

Langster entrackerisation by MikeDavis, on Flickr

2005 Langster, before they went all low-slung and roadified

Was the langster a pukka track bike at that point then Mike?

Nice shed too.

It's track geometry (74.5 head angle or something crackers like that) but originally had brakes and a flip-flop hub. Later ones were more "road fixed" geometry, road angles, slightly high but not track-high BB. I swapped the wheels for second-hand Miche jobbers with tubs and the Miche cranks. 'tis ace.

The shed is my office. Has been painted since that picture
