aaaand we're back!
full njs, (minus the rims, spokes and tires).
i'm not going to rhapsodize about the ride; suffice it to say it was very very good (and a friend saw me on the street and made me go drink wine with him. it was rough).

Put some orange grips on your Silk monkey...and stop wine-in'. NJS hot to death. Now you gotta chase the derny for maximum hotness.

Very nice, G. And the dark woods background is making my imagination run wild 
.
Maybe we can deconstruct that photo with some of those books on the book list thread. Wasn't one "Man and His Symbols".
1) Full NJS bike (this can be broken down into its constituent components as well, esp. those DA 7600)
2) A fence.
3) A bottle of wine.
4) The dark woods.
Discuss.

if you guys start a keirin club in SF, please at least invite me to your races so i can show you that taiwanese mass produced frames can still KICK YOUR NJS ASS.

Thanks for setting up the race though man, it was good times.
All crap-talking aside, I'm glad the peloton is back Galen. That thing is so nice. Congrats, again...

I'll call you next time, sorry dude.
We're going to ride on Friday, you should come along.
I still need to give you your crank-puller back, thanks for letting me borrow it.

Dolface,
We have to find a way to get that beauty out to Hellyer. I know it is a bit of a trek for you guys up in SF..but I want to see that bike blasting the track.

Aside from Asthetic/Fetish purposes: what makes NJS more desirable for street use? I notice that Campy doesn't "do" NJS at all, and have read they have no desire to.
