Nice. I just bought a 2014 Langster, absolutely no miles a few scratches from being moved around the guys garage apparently. I am still in the process of learning how to dismount and mount. Great bike.
I have two single speed langsters. One 50x18 and one 42x16. 50x18 is perfect for me. It’s 20mph at 90rpm. If I can suggest you keep with 25mm tires. 23’s are slower and less comfortable. Try gp4000 ii if you can find them. I use swissstop blue pads on white sram apex brakes. They’re a step up over stock. They’re on the 50x18 Monaco that’s white & red.
I am 1.93m tall and I recently bought a used 58cm Langster with straight handle bars. Technically, I am 2cm too tall for this size and should be riding a 61cm frame. However, it fits me well enough. I ordered a stem riser with adjustable angle so I will increase my horizontal distance to the handle bars while raising them slightly. I may also swap to drop bars in the future since I am curious to try that. It weighs only 9.3kg which is far lighter than any other bike I've ever had. I like it a lot so far.
@@belarusianrovar2265 I’m have the same height and bought 56. It’s very fun to ride because it’s playful, aggressive and agile. But for long distance I would probably choose your size.
Well, like I mentioned, the gear is not enough to pedal when you are going downhill, so the max speed is rather limited. I guess, I once made about 45 km per hour. To compare, on road bikes the max speed could be up to 60 km per hour.

Agree with je, stick with 700 x 25s. 700x 23 tires are a very rough ride. I use 700 x 25 and x 28s on my Langsters.
Thanks for the tip. I'll stick with 25mm for now.
How tall are you? Thanks.
183 cm or 6ft

It is a very nice bicycle.
Thanks!
The average speed of 26 km/h sounds pretty impressive. And what is the maximum speed?
