in art school. and i hate anything njs. its over the top and uneeded. besides.....art school has taught me the virtues of DIY culture if anything so that means function over form. that means using the spray booths and HVLP guns to crank out a nice frame.....that even means debating the ownership of a formula/nashbar hub over a paul/phil woods hub(yer not going to the track....and you dont belong to the actual 10% of riders who NEED anything of that calibre)

I graduated last summer from RISD and I have an old british track frame, the only NJS components on my bike are the toe straps, clips, and chain tensioners.

Bikes: Crust Romanceur, VO Polyvalent, Surly Steamroller, others?
I was an art student for a couple years, then switched to pharmacy. I realized that I liked money. 
Never really rode during the art days though.
