2 Samson NJS track bikes for sale, my heart hurts..

Moving to a wee island off Orkney at the end of the year, need a bigger car that can tow and just can’t justify owning four track bikes so these two are for sale..

1.Red samson njs illusion track. Been my Sunday bike and there haven’t been enough sunny Sundays for this.. Really lovely satin red with gold sparkle paint job, looks amazing in the sun!! I’m unsure of the tubing as no markings, but he tends to use Columbus. The most beautiful fork crown on it too!

Probably only had 200miles on it since I bought the frame from @gubhi. A few paint chips (from the tsa searching my bike bag..) which I’ve tried to capture but no dings or dents!

Went full njs, but wanted clincher wheels so had these built and shipped by track supermarket in japan so as close to njs as possible- again 200 miles on these, rims are not even aware of the concept of brakes.

Kashimax five gold 8p padded njs embroidered saddle, fitted but never ridden, gorgeous and cost me a fortune

Headset is a little gritty (bought used from njs export)

The straps have separated between one of the layers of leather and the plastic strip in the middle ( the holes on the supremes were super tight! ) I’ve used them no problem, and I’m sure you could cut that layer out if you chose and they’d still be tough. Just wanted to mention.

Measurements are: 56cm st x 57cm tt

Handlebars/Stem:

Saddle/Seatpost:

Looking for £1200 plus post (based in Glasgow) spent way more putting it all together

2.Pearl white Samson njs illusion track (sold)- this one is a beautiful beater! Bought and shipped the frame from japan, with what seems to be the almost obligatory nds top tube dent. Good couple scratches and scrapes but solid and straight. Really stiff at the rear (almost feels like it wants to jump forward when you put the hammer down!). Again, not sure of tubing, probably Columbus.

Damn , I'd love to own the red frameset !

GLWS

The red one is ace

I really wish I could justify owning these, they're both gorgeous and dripping with style - GLWS man

@Steelisrealguy @de5iRe @user53624

Thanks so much guys, gutted to be selling them, kind of why I haven’t been on here replying to these..

It's a shame that you need to sell them, However the move sounds like it will be great.

If no one takes you up on the red one and you're willing to split let me know man. Super nice bikes.

@SideshowBob yeah man, but needs must. We got ourselves 5 acres on a wee island called shapinsay and we’re going to build a house next year, haha done with the city.

@Jacob_Smith thanks very much bud! I think @gubhi is first in line for the frame and I’m really trying to shift it complete, but I’ll definitely let you know.

Sure you can handle that amount of style between your legs?

Just chatting to you in Evans bro. Come back if you fancy a quick sale haha mad.

Beautiful beater now sold, red one still available. Still looking to sell complete.
