Patterson's NJS-ish Backwards Boredom Build

Had a hub-based setback. Ordering some more when funds allow. It's gonna be about two weeks before I can ride it now.
Gutted.

Took a picture of the paint to give some idea of how awesome it is...

And here's the build as it looks at the minute...

Super sparkly! What kind of hub setback?

Super sparkly! What kind of hub setback?

Bought my components backwards so I got generic 7600 120mm spaced hubs and I need mine 110mm spaced with smaller axles. Got a sale thread going to raise funds. They'll be in my possession a week after I pay for them and then maybe another week until they're built. FML

Looking good dude! Love the paintjob! what size is the frame?

I'm riding my Makino now... just want some track grips / top tube protector / supertoughness chain and I'm done 100% happy... for now.

That looks SIIIIIICK!

My frame is a 54.

PM me... I might have some spare grips.

Ian showed me this frame last night and I can confirm it looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing the fully built pics. Nice work fella.

Right, so thanks to the sale of superfluous NJS parts, I've got some appropriately sized hubs in the post. Probably gonna be a fortnight before they're built. Bummer.

If you bought them from supermarket they'll arrive quick snap

NJS Export.
They'll be in the country in four days, in my hands in five, at my LBS in six and then I'll get them back once they've been laced up. So maybe ten days or so. Can't fucking wait.

I promise some better pictures soon.

That sparkly rainbow! Great build!

those sparkles must be amazing under direct sunlight. it's a real headturner.

I need a sparkly NJS frame some day ...

Thanks!

In the sun is the best time to look at it. You find yourself walking around it to see it change colour.

Oh Momma, that's a beauty.
Paintwork is lush, love that it looks quite simply black from a distance and that up close is such a sparkly rainbow reward. Gumwalls are doing a special thing as well.
Nice work P-man.

Not feeling the touring tyres on this. Seems off.

Also, I have something against bullhorns on a bike that doesn't have slope.

But hey, it's your whip and I bet you're grinning when riding so it's all good!

Just saw this in the flesh and it's stunning, super clean and more 'balanced' than the pictures might suggest- I'm not usually a fan of bullhorns either but I really think they work on this

this.

These do have some drop so I reckon they are alright.
Lovely frame and build though I hope bar tape is the planned icing on the cake?..

This is so good man! Can't wait to see this in in the reals, bring to SE's sometime.

Soon...

Can I be bait and say it needs a zen and b123s? Beautiful frame

You can say that if you want, I won't cry.
I have some b123s on a pearl you can see them in a pic a few pages up but I just prefer the bulls for casual pootling.
As for the Zen, I can live without one but if I see one at a price I like, I'll pick one up for sure. Obviously it's all about the Shimano Olympic ring but they're rare as hen's teeth.

Yeah, never even seen one IRL, do want to see this frame in person though, high five on a great build
