  • I love my 36cm nitto drops.. give you a pretty aggressive posture.. put on a 110mm jaguar stem.. feel like you are haulin ass! Yea my hardest bit was finding the hubs for my 3rensho too... I was lucky enough to swoop up some suntours back in colorado from a friend of a friend.. who actually built hes current frame with 3rensho master frame builder Koichi Yamaguchi in his workshop he runs back in colorado... hopefully if i ever get enough money ill build my own too.

    And yeah that miyata is nice scorch!

  • tomsvoboda - you realise you can take hubs apart and switch the axle, right?
    mistergilbert - the reason they made current projects a separate sub-forum is because people wanted to talk about their own bikes exclusively on their own thread, catch my drift?

  • wow sorry.. didnt know you were the thread admin for tomsvoboda thread.. must not have understood what tom meant by asking suggestions on handlebars... or concerns on the hubs... my bad

  • Thanks folks, inout appciated.
    Surely if you're swapping axle diameters then you'd have to swap bearings aswell to taccomodate them ok? Think i'll keep my eyes peeled and see what comes up as I don't want my rear wheel doingone on me!
    I'm going to sort out my riding position first though so if anyone has a set of Nitto drops of 38cm then I shall gladly relieve them of their burden ;)

  • ...a set of Nitto drops of 38cm...

    so trivial
    go with adb-x at least

  • so what's happening here?

  • the only hard part about Suntour is the NJS headset and BB....

    i have a suntour superbe axle if its of benefit...

  • Thought I'd post a few images I have of her.. Slowly getting my C-Rec NJS parts collected, watch this space!

  • Will be amazingz.

  • This is so nice!

    As you might already know the C-Record headset have a higher stack height then a hatta so i guess you need to make the steering tube higher. Or you might have a Campagnolo SR NJS laying around thats fits just fine! ;)

  • Thought I'd post a few images I have of her.. Slowly getting my C-Rec NJS parts collected, watch this space!

    so where are the images?

  • Damn i forgot about this, jealous all over again.

  • C-Rec NJS parts collected

    let me just pick my jaw up off the floor.

  • Cheers folks, a labour of love, patience and silly money to get it together! All the bits are stashed away atm so photos will happen once I get everything unpacked.
    I could do w some Araya Super Aero rims and a C rec headset if anyone knows of anything :)

  • Guess is might look something like this....

  • score!

  • jeez. i reckon the cost of this build will be in the order of magnitude of the gbp of a general african country. well done though..!

  • yeah, labour of love and eating baked beans on toast every month. Things don't come up very often though so i manage to scrape together the pennies for when needed. Think I'm going to have to part out my Colnago C-Rec to finish funding this so if anyone needs any such parts let me know ;)

  • this is going to be a real beaut

    its worth it man, life is too short.

  • NOS Campag C-Rec cranks...

  • Too good to resist. Possibly one of the heaviest stems I've ever had mind!

  • Mother of god!

  • +1.. aieaieaiecaramba!
