Eimei NJS build
This is my first thread on the forum and I just wanted to show what I run (which was a project).
A couple of months ago I moved back from Japan having lived there for pretty much a year.
Whilst there I went to Keiokaku Oval to watch the Keirin racing, met up with Tomity at his store in Higashiyamato-shi and put together my full Eimei NJS as well as making some great friends at other bike stores (Tempra Cycle)/within the fixed scene in Tokyo.
The frame was ridden by a professional from Kanagawa prefecture until it was 'retired' along with him.
I realise I'm not showing a start to finish build but hopefully the photographs etc will show what went into it.
This is a picture of me with my bike and Tomity outside his store the day we finished it/picked it up:
