Already among the sharpest looking lines around, the 2008 edition of the single-speed Langster gets an extra dose of style from five limited-edition, city-specific designs.

They're all pretty cool looking, though the taxi-themed NYC model's is a bit ill-conceivedlast time we checked, cabbies and bikers weren't exactly the best of friends. Also, keep in mind that aluminum-framed Langsters are built for speed, not comfort. Good thing they come with great brakes.
