I heard the Kashimax is an absolute ass hatchet, especially the narrow NJS ones, and you have to buy a ridiculously expensive NJS post to accommodate it, but any Nitto seatpost is going to be pricey I guess. If you have the extra scratch, some MKS Custom Nuevos would be badass; I just got a pair for xmas on mine and they're super buttery and rebuildable.
You sure you want to run single straps? What clips are you going to use?
You should consider a Devil 101 or Izumi track chain; I think a little gold chain action would be a cool subtle offset agaisnt the red frame. I think they offer those chains in silver too if you hate gold.
You should round out your wheel colors; silver or black DA hubs, silver or black spokes, silver or black hoops; once you've got that figured out, the rest of your selection should fall into place. For some reason I'm seeing a silver wheelset over a black one, especially if you're going to be doing the blue saddle/strap combo.
where would I go about finding these custom nuevos? and are they worth the dough?
oh I'm probably going for doubles actually, but clips and pedals are still undecided. what are some good keirin track pedals?
and gold izumi chain sounds awesome! gonna check that out.
wheels are pretty much going to be silver arayas laced to DAs, but aren't all DA hubs black anyway?
and saddle's not blue anymore, going to stick with black
thanks for the ideas!
