Which is the better bicycle and why? 08 Specialized Langster or 08 schwinn madison?

Answer 1

I know that most people will say the Langster and they are right to some degree. You get a CF fork and real sweet paint job, plus it looks better. However, my personal impression is that I'd personal rather ride the Madison with it's chromoly fork. I'm 6'3", 198 lbs and with the power I dish out on a road bike, I need the most durable components on a fix gear starting with the frame and fork. It's like they say, "Steel is real"
