I suppose this is my thread specific introduction.
Needed something to commute around campus while at college. 2013 SE Draft.

DIY gold wheels, bullhorns and saddle.

The plunge that showed up this afternoon. First bike build ever. Hoping to learn a lot!
Wasn't going to buy but Leader had a deal for $300 off their 2015 725 frameset with free shipping, saddle, headset, and bars.

The upgrades to that Draft are gorgeous!! The darker wraps and saddle go so well with the gold rims.
Great deal on the Leader! Have fun with the build!!

That new All-City chainring is pretty hot. It's very zen.

Here is my "townie" bike for just riding around town. I wanted a cheapo frame that I thought no one would want to steal. Then I put all my old parts from my Bianchi Pista on it. So the cranks, pedals and wheels are from the Pista. The seat, seatpost and bars are new. It's actually has many more scratches than you can see here.
I also have a little music video of riding to the park with my bestie!

My Henry goes bananas and yells anytime I try to put him in his basket.

As a side story, I was once riding with Petey to the park soon after a grooming session when he was looking perfect. As I can to a stop light a woman in the crosswalk kept staring at Petey and I. After crossing the street, she turned and walked up to me and just when she was a few feet away Petey stood up on the side of the basket and she let out a gasp! She said she was about to ask why I was riding with a stuffed animal in my basket. It was pretty funny and made our day.

Obviously, a Bianchi Pista. but I've swapped most parts out. A few items of note are the Nitto NJS stamped NJ-89 stem and B125AA bars.

I love that bike and tried like crazy to buy one a couple years ago but KHS said it was for Japan only and would not help me. I even tried to order it off some Jap websites & they would not ship here. Now you got me all wanting one again & I know I won't be able to get it

Yes it is. I'm in Canada. The Canadian distributor brought 8 of them into the country. If you still want one I would contact them and see if they still have one or if they know a Canadian dealer that has one in stock. The lady to talk to is Leslie, ACS Distributing Inc. . So much fun to ride.
It says KHS USA on the chainstay protector

i thought njs was all threaded headsets and quill stems. Is this something new?
either way, good looking bike.
