Who cares what it is or it's purpose, it's NJS! Buy it!


I seem to recall a thread in the main forum showcasing a bike show in Japan and Nitto made these weird half-chopped looking bars in all sorts of different colours, I guess that is what this is.

yeah between work and trying to get the website done and wrapped up things have been quite hectic. Lots of fun things on the horizon and for those of you wondering the site is almost done. Just tying in some of the back end stuff and bob's our uncle. Or someone's anyways. I've got the teaser up there now... click the link in my sig below.

Hoping this Wednesday we'll be able to get back out there as well for the group ride. Gotta get the blood flowin' for Global Warming in March! I'm dying to get back out and I'm really starting to get pumped for the World's!!

Bummed I missed the Ice Races. I've been dealing with the flu all week and have been somewhat overdoing it in an attempt to fight off cabin fever - which I'm much more afraid of than the pesky flu. Thought I'd better not push it any more than I already have - ice breaking yesterday morning almost took me right out.

you know, it always amazes me how many new bikes appear daily of the FGG compared to a few years ago. is it (fixed gear riding) that popular these days?

i think rob will allow the word "campagonlo" to be on his bike...

if that crank was smaller than a 50t i'd take it off your hands.

Those are some pretty good prices Pyze, especially for the cranks. I don't need anything but I imagine that you won't have a hard time unloading them.

A long shot, but this might do in a pinch (it's apparently much better live coverage than the cycling.tv feed): https://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com...urTracker.html

Well sure, the R3 doesn't need the seat stays anyway, so just saw them off, run a W.I. ENO rear to tension the chain, swap in a cyclocross fork and there you go.

... can you imagine the insanity off seeing a Cervelo guy show up to the ice races on a reject frame and "prepping it" on site? That would be ridiculously awesome.

Sure they SAY it doesn't need seatstays, but if that's the only thing between my balls and a few hundred spikes I'd probably want them there.
