NJS-certified stuff??
OneTinSloth mentioned the Nagasawa frames so I figured maybe we can discuss more of the keirin equipment. I don't know if it's the prohibitively high price, the exclusivity of owning something so specialized, or just the supposed bulletproof quality, but for some reason this stuff is just cool. I have toyed with the idea of building a fully NJS-compliant bike, and I'm sure I will when I have an extra four grand or so, but for now I guess we can just talk, post pictures, and drool. Right now the only NJS certified thing I own is my Nitto handlebars, I'm on the way though.

if i get a good chunk of my debt paid off over the winter i plan on putting myself back into debt by building up a NJS approved bike. there'll only be two parts on it that wont be approved, the chain and pedals. i have a habit of breaking chains, i can't afford to be buying high-dollar NJS approved chains all the time. and pedals, i dont know of any clipless pedals that sport NJS certification.

I found out where I saw that info, businesscycles. He states that the 36 hole one is stamped NJS but none of the others are becasue the NJS certification is only for 36 hole hubs.

I know there is NJS certified saddles, hubs, stems, handlebars.. what about rims? Figure if you are going to make a NJS certified bike might as well go all out. It would be nice to have I must admit.

bens is roughly a mile and a half from my house. i've stopped in a few times and i've never seen a single piece of track-related equipment. i don't go there often, though, as i work at another shop.

From what I was told:
They recently found a distributor to handle these requests; now they are able to carry such pieces.
I really do not know what the shop is or what it has as I am in Chicago. I provided this as a resource.
