You should ask "Deathhare" about that. Apparently the Chinese are building forks that can stand up to "tricks" without rusting. Or something.
What's your real point here besides trolling?
I mean one fork that had rust and failed due to tricks makes all NJS frames crap or just this one?
No one that Ive ever known, and I lived in Japan for a long time, thinks NJS bikes are "god made" like you say.
That being said, ALL of the NJS builders have been building bikes for a very long time. Probably longer than youve even known what a bicycle was and maybe even your parents. Many of them are in their 60s or approaching 70s and have done nothing but this their entire career. Theyre made with the utmost seriousness and care.
This doesnt mean no one makes mistakes. They're handmade one by one.
PS: Insulting Canadians here because they dont agree with you weakens your case and just makes you look plain childish.
