  • I appreciate all the history, time, effort, money and prestige that this bike represents but... it just looks like all the other full NJS bikes?

    iunno man it's nice and all but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • While I'm not going to argue as taste is subjective, I have to disagree about it being your typical NJS bike.

    The frame alone sets it apart. It has an NJS Cinelli cockpit you rarely see plus the NJS Sheriff Star hubs (basically a typical NJS bike consists of Japanese parts (Nitto/Shimano) while this is a Cinelli bike). The 3Rensho seat compliments and finishes off the bike perfectly.

    Regardless of if you think you might've seen it (or something similar) before, it's still a p0rn bike in my opinion. A nice change from for example the dozens of Pinarello's which all look the same to me.

  • Yup, I get it, I've read the thread and understand the whole thing. I just don't think the history and rarity of the frame and parts make it substantially different from any other NJS* build. It's cool, it's porn, it's just looks kinda normal. The fact that the stem's Cinelli and not Nitto doesn't make much aesthetic difference, imo.

    *of course, there is a reason for this.

  • Or Colnagos..

  • I'm still doubting whether the Cinelli parts are original NJS. Stem looks modern panto machine copy (logo is also to shouty and big IMO.) Same goes for the handlebars.

  • If you have to explain why its porn, it aint porn. Same rules as actual porn.
