NJS of LFGSS

If you choose 1 you're a puppy murderer.

2 is the only real option.

Hey man, what are you talking about? Pls check PM

Why bother with an NJS frame if you're going to run a brake?

This, without doubt, is THE most sensible question you've ever asked.

Gosh, so honoured to have finally met your approval.

What about the njs frames that are already drilled for brakes?? This forum is a funny place. @haveo it's your fork do whatever you wish

No! One must abide by the forum rules and heed forums collective opinion in any situation!

lol. Always best to make up ones own mind imo

Lighten up...

it's all about the paint, it'd cost me as much as an njs frame to get a non njs frame painted in the same way

Tbh I wouldn't drill the original fork, I just thought that getting a lone pair of forks instead to drill would of been an alright alternative to a clamp on?

Realistically though, clamp on brake is probably the easiest cheapest option and can be removed easily

Why a brake? None of your previous bikes have had one no?

Hmm not currently no, Plan is to put a front rack on though and a front brake may be sensible. I mean I'd probably be fine without one but I kind of want at least 1 bike with a brake

One of the most sought after NJS frame builder's frames (In my opinion), rad paint, rad build, Fat off basket, brklss.

anyone got a lone 170 NDS crank arm to sell cheaps by any chance?

Those clamp on brakes have barely any power, wouldn't you be better off just swapping to a lower ratio when you got to carry some extra weight?

I've used one before for a bit and found it okay.

I'm about to make my order and I think I'm just going to get an additional fork with it. Won't cost me any extra for shipping or customs so at £45 there's little risk. I'll be able to sell it on for that price fairly easily if I change my mind

What @B0N0R said, make sure if you drill the fork the caliper can clear the headset

Drill it straight into the headtube for a much better fit.

Plan is to put a front rack on though and a front brake may be sensible.

oh shit a rack? this is what you need then

ok, anyone got a 167.5 NDS 7710 arm? cause i've fucked one of those aswell

a old shimano brake will do the work maybe with a little grinding, they are alot smaller than the new ones..

First thing new owner of my old watanabe was to drill the forks..

Changed my plan and I think I'm going for the Giro that's in the classifieds, so no drilling will be taking place.

Sad story about your Watanabe

a cool :)

sad or not, it is hundreds and hundreds of those frames out there but yeah this one was nice and no dents..
