NJS parts?
I've been reading a bunch about keirin racing in Japan in the last couple weeks, and apparently the parts allowed in keirin racing are very strictly regulated. Just out of curiosity, I checked eBay, and the parts are suuuuper expensive! I guess I won't be building a keirin bike.
Does anyone have any NJS bikes/parts they can post pictures of?

here's a thread I posted on singlespeed and fixed:https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespeed-fixed-gear/514879-njs-pants-cuff-strap.html
about the one njs part I have, and have no use for other than the thread topic. As you can see, they are quite the ambassadors of their sport, wisely pointing out that I was unaware of a trend that I was unaware of.

That said, the NJS designation has become quite fashionable amongst the hipster crowd, driving the prices up, even though only a vanishingly small number of NJS equipped hipsters will ever participate in a keirin race.
N.B. Frame builder Dave Porter is behind an effort to bring professional keirin racing to New Mexico.

I would be interested in seeing some vintage njs, plus old keirin pics. Tomity posted some old and new keirin race pics over on serotta forums, a very interesting and entertaining thread:

alright, i bit:
"Puerile
Pu"er*ile\, a. [L. puerilis, fr. puer a child, a boy: cf. F. pu['e]ril.] Boyish; childish; trifling; silly.
The French have been notorious through generations for their puerile affectation of Roman forms, models, and historic precedents. --De Quincey.
Syn: Youthful; boyish; juvenile; childish; trifling; weak. See Youthful.

I had to put this in because of the French reference
