Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Holy crap. $400 for a chainring, chain, and cog? I could spend less than $50 on that stuff and still smoke a jamoke.

I wish I had a bike with hell in it, so that I could ride it out of it. Does NJS help with that?

I am so stoked. I am under the impression that the Grand Mighty will clash....badly....that's the only reason I want the Black 75's. What do you guys think....standard Sugino ring...or Sugino Messenger? Black on Black of course.

The key is obviously to buy whatever high quality crank you like, and get it painted exactly like the frame (or just white if they can't match the funky paintjob).

If i went all silver parts I would get a Full DuraAce group...High Flange hubs, cranks, headset, jaguar stem, jaguar seatpost, Kashimax saddle, etc. If i went gold....which i think woudl be cool due to the gold glitter in the paint....then I'd gt the gold gruppo from Ben's. I'm sure I can talk him down in price 10%....I have bought from him before.

I like this idea. The frame is pretty flashy on its own.

my lord....so that's what can happen when you finally say "price is no object". my "price is no object" bike would be completely different, but i assume that you've put alot of time and energy into this build, so you could probably care less about the naysayers. i think it will look incredible. you ARE going to post pics of the completed build yes?

When I go to Ben's Cycle and Fitness, like, the real physical shop, they almost always discount me on stuff. So the prices come out nicely.

Now yer talkin'!

Believe it or not, that actually makes tons of sense. We won't be racing in Japan anytome soon, may as well go all the way live.

This **** is expensive as hell in Seattle and there are few options, not to mention that the sales tax is pretty outrageous. If I were spending hundreds on bike parts it would most likely be online somewhere. Ben's happens to have a lot of this type of bling in one place, though Business Cycles is probably where I would go. That or pick up parts on my next trip to tax-free Portland.

Or just buy a full DA/nitto track group and get them custom anodized. Probably would end up costing you the same, plus you get +5 magic defense for complete NJS matching components, plus nobody else will have it.

edit: purple anodized. It would be the jazz.
