Had a Kilo TT - Looking at a Langster ($500)

Should I do it?

I really liked my Kilo, but right now she's in sunny Medellin, Colombia. And I'm in rainy Seattle. So I need something to get around and found a steel Langster for $500 would it be comparable? Fun?

Also my only grip on the Kilo was the very aggresive geometry.. how's the Langster? Seems a little longer.

57cm Kilo to 56cm Langer

If the 57cm kilo fit you, the 65cm Langster probably wont.

Take the geo charts and compare them?

I'm kinda lazy to pull them both up.

Kilos fit pretty big, and langsters fit kinda small, so that isn't gonna work.
