Bike porn

think about the track end thought, you're limited to hubs that use an allen bolt.

take a minute, look at the track end and then re-word what you said :)

There's as much space there for a track not as any other breezer/surly style dropout.

Why?

oh it's not so bad, my fault, didn't check the picture out properly.

A fu**ing BEAST!!

Take the rubbish wheels off, and have a nice drop bar or bullhorn on there I would like it.

I don't think I like a single thing about it...but then again I can't see the BB :)

so, if you had the choice?
don't know. they both just have sat there when i've had them.

More photo porn than bike porn (not taken by me);

I know the trend these days is to go for less and less stuff on your bike, no brakes for example, but no stem is just a step to far.

Saw a white one of those locked up in Paris - tasty bit of kit

The dropouts look terrifyingly thin! It looks like the bike the kids in Akira would ride when their motorbikes were in the shop.

Oh, dont like that hetchins, but the eddy merckx is lovely, yum,

Don't understand the cut down drops on Bridgestone...it's like denying yourself the opportunity to get down on the drops

Love that bike! Like the aesthetics of the bars - don't know how they could be useful tho...Nevertheless. Lovely!

most of the time you would use those parts of the bars
the position on the elbows like that is the sweetest, though.
especially on criteria (?).

in the central of a city, chance are you almost never go on the drop, yeah it's no longer functional but I think it does look nice (ta marcola!).

i think its a beauty!

so am I right to undersatand that the road version is much more tought?

right! the only way you can ride them on rough pavement is when you have this stamp onem:

bollocks to that expensive stuff.

You get what you pay for

It's far too expensive for what it is, IMO.
Feel free to disagree, whatever, but the NJS stamp is a licence to overprice everything that adorns it.
Someone's very rich from it.

I'm feeling free to disagree. The stamp means it is of a certain race/track standard, so therefore it'll arguably be stronger, more durable and less likely to fuck up(not in the case of Vivalo) and has passed the specific tests to use

Are NJS C-Record components really any different? Do you know how?
