really? whats the big deal with NJS frames apart from the glitter deco? im curious. i imagine because they are made for keirin, they're built to push the limits of strength to weight ratio which makes it unsuitable for everyday road use. and on that, they are usually made for shorter japanese cyclists (do they adjust the tubing according to rider size/weight?). or is it cos they're built religously by holy craftsmen...hattori hanzo of keirin frames!
anyway, age old debate. prob discussed here before. just seems like a lot of money to me
