NJS of LFGSS

Im home from work with 6 cracks in the ribs so i need something to do when im off work :)

Ouch, crashed? Hope you're OK dude. Stay safe and get well soon.

Some spontaneous upgrades for the Anchor, jag stem and b125aa's and a flite saddle which isn't falling apart. Also just bought a bargainous da7600 wheelset on eBay laced to mavic open pro cd's. Going to be very tidy

Yes, i crashed.. all is cool thanks but im of the bike for 10 more days.

@haveo: B125s look wack, but don't worry! I'll take them. :D Kidding looks (back breakingly) good.

Seriously though: I've always found Jags looking better when they're raised a tiny bit and this also prevents the bars from overlapping the front wheel.

Nice catch on the wheels. DA hubs are always a win.

@bankiren: Sucks man, but it's wise you take time to heal.

hopefully i will recive my custom 1" threaded orlowski discbrakefork to the grey maeda tomorrow!

Yeah, ribcracks sucks, i worked a week with the cracks but it did not work so i needed to see the doctor, bikemessenger is not the best work when you have problems like that..

Looks sweet.

As said before, watch out for the bars hitting the front wheel, will affect your track standing capabilities.

Doubt you could get a fillet to be that small and still maintain strength, throat thickness must be tiny.

Looks more like super neat tig, any examples of TIG NJS?

Totaly agree about the jaguar, look much better a bit up, at least if its 100mm+.

but you cant see any welds, tig is tig.. hmm

@Tijs cheers, will try raising it when I'm next in the bike shed.

@HHC I'm pretty sure that isn't possible... Remember the bars move with the wheel haha

Have you seen Ricky Feather's stuff?

Yeah, he's finished his brazes real smooth but that stratos is something else, tubes just mitred then joined really sharply, near enough no fillet or weld bead. Can only imagine that a pre form of fillet was used inside the tube.

Dope I've been looking at this.

Wondering how it was made, pretty lovely finish on the joints.

Maybe @coldharbour can give us an insight into how these super sharp fillet brazes are achieved?

I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not!

I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not!

my sarcasm is just that advanced

ouch pal
I suffered that rib thing on the end of this summer (bunnyhop that ended in frontflip ribs to floor), doctor told me that I was going to suffer like 6 weeks of pain, and so I did.
Get well son and stay strong.

Yeah it really sucks..

Did some shit in the garage today, me and two friends ordered custom orlowski disc brake forks and they arrived today!

35mm rake, low crown, room for spikes and mounts for fender.

with 25mm 4 season.

with schwalbe 32mm spike.

pile of njs beaters :) maeda, maeda, peloton all same size 54cm square.

Too rad.

Slick. How much one of the forks run you? Been looking at getting a custom disc fork done.

we paid 230£ for 3 of them including shipping.

it is a bargain for a self spec custom fork, dont know if Jacek hooked us up with quantity discount.

Considering that some BLB fork costs £100, that's a really good price for a fork made with love

holy shit what a deal

"Love" ;)

A friend of mine did this for me today :)
