I emailed the guy concerning the hub spacing. For some reason, I didn't get a response. i feel bad for the guy who builds a "NJS bike" with this frame.
I wonder if it goes 50mph uphill....

huh? what's wrong with the 123mm spacing? That's pretty much keirin standard now
120mm + 3mm for the MKS chaintugs.

there's only a minority of keirin racers these days who are still using the 110mm spacing.

I thought that 110 was the "only" standard for Keirin. there is more than one standard? I guess he is not the ignorant one.....

Aside from the bike being kosher anyway, the only people who actually need a full NJS bike probably aren't shopping ebay for them.

110mm and 120mm are both standard, and many framebuilders add a couple of mm to accomodate chaintugs.

there's always something quite satisfying about watching people attempt to clown others, yet actually clowning themselves.

Yeah, what a tool that kid is for not knowing all the nuances of a racing standard from halfway around the world.
You guys are so much more NJS than him! KUDOS!

it's not about him not knowing "the nuances of a racing standard from halfway around the world." it's about him trying to clown someone else for not knowing while in fact not knowing himself. he admits as much now.

can it be said again how stupid this NJS trend for street bikes is? i recently told someone that they should come to the open night at the track.. and their answer was "i can't, my bike isnt all NJS"

you are damaging the kids, people... please stop!

haha i have to admit that my bike is mostly NJS. it's not necessarily because i care about NJS, but because my frame is NJS and i like having continuity in my builds.

disc wheels too right?

With all the crashes seen in Keirin, I wonder if some of the racers will stick with steel and regular wheels. The discs should not give that much benefit while they are riding in the tight packs and they would also make the bikes less nimble for their wicked quick twitchy keirin moves.
