I would ride a Seattle for sure.
This is just like skateboarding or BMX, unless you pick and choose all your parts yourself and assemble it yourself, you’re immediately not as cool as the other kids. Not everyone wants or needs a boutique bike though.
I worked hard for my awesome bikes.
I stole Rusty’s bikes for my awesome bikes.
I’m going home RIGHT NOW!
At least I still have my crosscheck.
Check underneath you. NO CROSSCHECK!
OH SHIT!
How’d you steal a bike out from under my ass?!?!?
The dark Pharaonic arts.

Yeah, I could definitely see you as the type who would ride a World Industries complete.
The reason that 99/100 people that know how to skate would not buy a complete (other than the fact that you need ~50 decks and ~5 bearings for every pair of trucks) is that they have preferences in their equipment that often cross over company/distributor lines. I ride mostly Anti-Hero decks, but a complete Anti-Hero would come with Venture trucks, which suck filthy nads.
This argument only translates somewhat to complete bikes, but the point is that it’s not about being cool, it’s just what happens when a consumer has some idea what the fuck they are doing.

umm…? I’ve never had a bike that was a “complete”.
its not like bikes are hard to put together, or adjust.
people need to stop being lazy and start learning to be self sufficient. otherwise, go to starbucks and have your latte.

You’re such a chump.

i sold an '01 langster frame/fork for nearly 200$ on ebay. good times. goood times.
So because you’ve generalized Langster owners as “the type that buy the first thing the salesmen at the big bike shop recommended” I will generalize the Langster hater.
The Langster hater is the type of guy who only hates the bike because it represents big business. Yes specialized is big, but that doesn’t make them bad (actually economies of scale more than likely make them able to produce better things at cheaper cost). To some people it may make them “uncool”. People that don’t like things simply because they are uncool are douche-bags.
Can we call the club The douche-bag club.[/quote]
No, I hate on them because I hate the sloping top tube and the stupid fuckin themes.
This duckwars guy should have stuck with his hybrid.
whatever, the San Fran langster is a SS highbrid.
london underground theme was fucking sick, don’t even play me like that. Seattle was aight.
Seattle?
Really?
With its coffe holder and three foot wide cruiser bars?
The stupidness of that bike knows no bounds.
