Looks like you could stand to take a link out of that chain.

yeah, take a link out. if it doesn't fit, size down on that granny gear.

awesome bike but i was hoping for a ZOMBIEBIKE

looks good!

Hot. Like the Dura-Ace cranks. I'm a fiend for the DA.

Risers...

Risers...

its a love/hate thing

Indeed, it is.

Aunt flo stoppin' by again?

it's a clean build... but risers w a drop stem and deep v's... snoooooore. that frame could do better.

eh, that's the style of the classic NJS "sweet fixie"

i know the stem/riser combo might look weird, but it feels really comfortable and if my lower back is happy...im happy!

agreed thats like a throwback right there

Hank Hill facepalm is the best.

yeah i dont like it.

But dude, it rides like a book!

is that Xavier's hoverchair?

also, if it had a small cog and a wound up fork i'd love it.

36 hole wheels, eh?

just came back from a 2 hour ride and all i see is hate

Ehhhh...

I've never understood the purpose of a drop stem with riser bars. Why not just get a "7" stem and flat bars? IMO it should also have a brake, but I don't want to start another huge debate about that. Apart from those things it looks like a pretty cool ride.

If someone tried to give me that bike for free I would say

"No sir, get out of here with that bike, I do not want it"

Ride the stuffing out it, not my cuppa, but looks like a nice clean build. Good one.

Put a brake on that MF.

that stem and bar combo is making Jesus cry.

Yeah, you need to flip the stem.

Yeah, you need to flip the stem.
or the bars

Does that fork look bent to anyone else?

its on angle, i think thats why. camera tricks...

I hope so!

I wasn't hating (although I never really get the drop stem/riser bars thing), the fork just looks odd to me.

the stem came with the frameset and i didnt care much to find a new one because i just wanted to ride it

36 hole wheels, eh?

Gotta have 36 holes to be NJS certified ;)

What's with all the hate? The only thing I'd do to it would be to take the stickers off the rims, I reckon it's a sweet ride.

any tips on doing that? those mofos are on there for good

They actually peel off pretty easily. Use a hair dryer to warm them up and peel them right off. Use Goo Gone or WD40 to clean off any leftover residue.

Then take a little knife and carve (njs) into each rim.

too bad i dont care about that. the only njs parts that are on it came from the guy that i originally bought it from. i used a seat post from a parts bin for christ sake

Which makes Jesus sob even harder.

deep Vs are whatever...I had a set on my njs built but got new wheels pretty shortly thereafter. Nothing wrong w/ risers I guess, but use a diff stem.

I'm with you, though, I would rather ride an incomplete build and then replace parts as I go than wait until I have the *perfect* bike to go for a ride...

I love the frame, though. Georama is cool and the color is gorgeous.

36H for the rim that'll last and take more of a beating. Low spoke count is for racing.

They actually peel off pretty easily. Use a hair dryer to warm them up and peel them right off. Use Goo Gone+1 although only one came of easily the other required some very careful scraping using my nails and a pocket knife. The goo gone worked well to take off the residue.

nice build, but i got two words for you: Nitto Pearl

thanks man. im still shocked about how i got it. im from toronto and its very very rare that you see some nice track stuff, most stuff you gotta ship or heavily overpriced. then i seen this guy selling njs parts on craigslist which led me to believe that he was parting a build out and what do you know...my sherlock holmes instincts were right and i ended up getting a very sweet deal on it.

too bad i dont care about that.
you cared enough to state it in your opening post:

i honestly dont care enough about it to pay $80-100 for it with shipping

やぱり　Adrinoさん

enough of the hate and facepalms. That is a fairly normal keirin bike build if you live in 東京 or even 渋谷と三軒茶屋。　だからうるさい！！！

sell the jag and trust me you can get it cheaper than $80, just look around don't go straight to benscycles.com

The bars are a personal choice for the riding you do, so I don't care about those. Overall, it's a solid build. If it were mine I wold have gone for a box section rim than would match the frame's tube proportions but that again is a personal choice. Just ride it and enjoy it.
