  • yep

  • Are the rims from the orient express?

  • I believe so.

  • what's the quality like?

  • Haven't ridden them yet, but they look/feel great. I would've rather the matte thick weave finish, but at the price I ain't complaining.

  • your saddle angle sucks every time, if you cant handle the drop then get different bars/ stem.

  • Check out Mr six posts giving it the large^!

    Have to say though tom, this is crying for a more classic saddle IMO.

  • Also swapped saddle for a turbo then an SLR, I know the SLR doesn't look the best but I prefer to not have sore balls....

    Nothing to do with drop to bars, sadde angle is a personal thing so kindly fuck off.

  • Looking forward to seeing yours built. On for an NJS forum ride either over the next couple of months or next spring?

    I would be up for an NJS ride. We should get a good photo of the three of us with our sonics.

    On a side note, I really want to get a "My other bike is NJS" sticker for my beater....

  • Yes straight up, definitely. Hopefully mine will actually be finished by then.

  • Yeah sounds good, although my sticker might read "my other saddle is NJS..."

  • Classy gets stale... Now with Corima.

  • I like it more with that Corima. Although in my eyes it needs a fatter saddle, I'd prefer a Rolls. But I can understand that you like this SLR, so I'd keep it, also because when you ride it, nobody sees it.

  • Cheers. Now it has an sp72 and I swapped the saddle out for an SLR gel.flow which is slightly chunkier and looks a little less out of place, can't really tell from this terrible photo likehaha.

  • Ha, I have been swapping saddles and taking shitty photo's of mine tonight too..

  • Better shot with the Corima...

  • NJS Pearl 9, b125s and Champs... Tried a few track cockpit options and reckon this istthe one...

    Also put a beater back wheel on as don't want to destroy the DA/Araya...

  • you spend a lot of time at the train station

  • Potentially selling this frame any interest drop me a PM.

    The size is 59 ST ctc/57 TT ctc...

  • no need for the orbropro and this? think again!

  • Got another steel frame I may be building... It's not arrived yet, so I'll decide when I get it.

  • you are just fecking prolific... give it a rest would you. making us look bad! any hints to what is pending arrival?

  • Nothing too exciting.

    Mark, I think I need help...

  • well all I'll say is the first part is done my friend.

    Acceptance is step 1 right.

    now what is next again?
