• I imagine a lot of cheap steel track frames could pass NJS requirements if the manufacturers wanted to pay to have them certified. Does anybody know what the actual requirements are? Just have to be steel, double triangle, no aero tubes, no bosses, and above a certain weight?

    just that the builder has to pass on quality, just like reynolds hand out certificates for builder to let them build with tubes like 753,

    afaik only 2 or 3 builders in the uk were allowed to build with it?

    i think we all go a bit mental about NJS over here when in japan it's just regarded as 'standard issue' kit... if you'll buy an NJS stamped item over a non stamped one when they look the same and are built to the same standards out of the same material for more money then more fool you.

    good on specialized for realising what matters to hipsters with more money than sense. (p.s at 650dollars it's gonna be the cheapest NJS frame out there and mass produced so no real street kudos as far as i am concerned)

    p.s i think it looks rather nice for the money.
