You best quit drinking that hatorade!

I have an anti-keirin, keirin bike. **** even has a modified fork-crown to fit a CK headset. So the fork is not even NJS anymore. But I refuse to mix Italian and Japanese, I dont mind a little American thrown in though.

I find parts that work. I put them on my bikes. I don't really pay attention to where they were manufactured or marketed.

IS THAT SO VERY WRONG?!

Nope not at all.

The whole one country thing is like insisting on drinking Frech wine AND French Whiskey, while perfectly knowing that German Whiskey is far superior.

It is an exercise in style and cosistency that's it.

Started life (for me) as a NOS Fuji Track Pro '03 delivered on Monday.

I hated the road bars with flaming red tape. Did not like the black stem or seatpost.
Front wheel had a really bent spoke.
The top tube is a little short for me.
So I grabbed a 120mm -15 degree silver stem.(Just tossed on an old steel road bar)
Ordered a Nitto b123 with blue keirin grips.
Grabbed a DuraAce silver aero seatpost off eBay(on the way)
Stole a front wheel off my TT bike.
Will cut the steerer after I get it dialed in.


I will update the picture when I get the rest of the good bits on.

You should be able to, but I dont know, can you?

Say again, over?

Just love thee parts.

Pfft, I'm just instigating. He could have a Sturmey 3 speed and a pink basket on it, as long as it's on two wheels it's cool with me ;)
