NJS of LFGSS

Very classy, I want a Kalavinka..

Thanks, did think about tires but I think the rolling resistance will get me so opted without. Really stiff ride.

Trawling njs export and saw this. Looks like the guy painted had an accident with the glitter, must of sneezed or something

Mine had intense glitter and they called it "Max rainbow glitter"

Sort of wish I'd never sold it

Steel?

Anyone need a saddle?

Lovely lovely shiny shiny!

Good to meet you fella, thanks.

Same, looking forward to some snaps of the beauty when it's done. \m/

On the lookout for a 26.8 post if anyone knows of anything.

Does it have to be NJS?

Yup, sorry I guess I shoulda mentioned that

Encountered a wild umezawa in bournemouth last saturday. Matchy NjS framebuilder business -

Genius is great tubing..very lightweight. When talking to a few framebuilders in the past, they didn't recommend it for a heavier rider using it because it is quite thin.

Also, if it's going to be an every day street bike that's going to be constantly locked to stuff/ridden hard, you might want to reconsider since it's one of the easier frames to dent. My friend had a Samson Genius frame and he said it was a magnet for small dents..but he loved it still.

I believe Genius is 0.7 / 0.4/ 0.7 which is about the same as Kasei 017
Very light but not sure how I would feel about day-to-day street use.

Love that Makino. What color is that? Looks almost like an ivory.

I prefer a slightly dinged NJS frame. I felt that if I paid more for a perfect one, I'm constantly going to worry about every new ding/dent/scratch....and I'll end up babying it too much and that first ding/deep scratch will annoy me.

When the frame already has some scars, it just takes away "it has to stay perfect" stress so you can just focus on riding/enjoying it without worry.
