I think some white deep V's would look stellar on it.

I love my Langster. It's new and totally stock, although at some point I want to replace the tires with a set of red Armadillo Elites, and maybe add matching red tape. If I didn't like the Toupe saddle so much - I have the gel/ti version on my Roubiax - I'd throw on a Brooks, the leather serving as an old school counterpoint to the high-tech alu/carbon.
Although the color scheme is basic, the polished aluminum and even the black carbon forks will, depending on the angle of view, reflect colors.

I could be mistaken, but I think those replaceable dropouts are a new feature. Neat. I also love (and still have) my saddle and seatpost (and wheels and cranks and...)

I wish my '08 had come with the toupe saddle too. But the dropouts are the same. Mine's the NY model - pretty much stock, although I upgraded the brakes/cables, and replaced saddle/seatpost.

What brakes, saddle and seatpost did you get?

I can tell that's a parking deck on GT campus, I just can't determine which one

The brakes. Should have mentioned this: the Avid levers are fine, but the calipers were awful. They seemed to scratch the rims, and after I removed them, it was almost as if the pads had embedded shards. I replaced them with an older Dura Ace set of calipers, and no problems since.

Loving the dark green/brown combo, real classy.
On the other hand, here's my Langster.
New seatpost/seat, polished seat post clamp, painted rims black, new stem/bars, chainring/cog/chain, clips/straps. I did a century on this over the weekend, but with clipless pedals and the stock saddle, I gotta get an updated picture cause some of that stuff isn't in the picture.

I wish they had a Monaco but I ended with either San Fran or Tokyo. I didn't like the simple flat bar on the San Fran so I went with Tokyo.

I dig it, and I generally don't like a sloping TT. Really dig the murder-ness, and I think the B17 helps fill up some missing space that my eyes are so used to seeing on straight top tubes.
On a side note, Abe Froman isn't your name is it? If so there's a pretty sweet band that may or may have the exact same name.

Nickname.
I've put nearly 2000 miles on that bike this year. Lately I've been injured and can't ride. I really miss it.

Good stuff! I had a pretty hard fall the other night, skating though. I tweaked my wrist and scraped the skin off my kneecap, which doesn't handle bends very well. Nothing serious but missing out on rides even for a couple days hurts. Hope your riding again soon, I'd be missing it too.
