  • Vs. overall diameter, wall thickness has very little bearing on overall stiffness.

    Sure it does, what about steel touring specific frame? my Thorn Sherpa felt as stiff as the Dolan Precursa when it's unladen.

  • God DAMN thats nice! That stem... O_O

  • No amount of turd polishing can disguise the fact that it's a $400 open mould frame covered in an $800 fake-heritage paint job.

  • allow me...

  • the stem stripe and levers.
    cyan blue is photoshopped in!

  • dam, love this

  • SadR goes from the sublime to the ridiculous.

    agreed but it's noteworthy that he makes a real good job with the actual paintjobs. And a good job selling open mould frames too. But I guess by the same market mechanics that has every other nodder around London riding a create cromoly frame with painted rims and cranks : /

  • No amount of turd polishing can disguise the fact that it's as elegant as a hippo in a tutu.

    I'm no fan of the NJS thingy, but that Nagasawa looks great, apart from the top-tube protector ruining classic lines.

    oh, so it's fine.

  • oh, so it's fine.

    Not saying its fine and it is quite gross but you have to give it to him. He paints carbon bikes for a living. I ride two great open mould frames but they are unbranded since I cant take the wankery.

  • I appreciate - but I think the problem here is they are not a painting company, they claim to be a bike manufacturer - and by rebranding and selling for 200% of actual worth, they are not doing themselves any favours.

  • allow me...

    My bike is to this bike what I am to George Clooney.

  • Thought I'd seen it somewhere before.

    Custom full-NJS Nagasawa by Tokyo Fixed.

    Full set here.

    Yes, that's right. Here. In October.

  • Groundhog thread.

  • ..they are not doing themselves any favours.

    I bet they're loaded

  • ...by rebranding and selling for 200% of actual worth, they are not doing themselves any favours.

    There is nothing wrong with having a good idea and making money from it.

    They sell nice looking bikes, people who want nice looking bikes buy them, we get a discussion point to bitch about.

    Everyone is happy as far as I can see.

  • actually... selling for 200% of actual worth, they are doing themselves a good favour

  • its even more actually - I was quoted at hongfu or whoever was doing it (before the frames are sold to pedalforce) 500 with ritte pink/black paintjob.
    they sell the framesets for 1800.

  • it would be hilarious if you started to undercut him

  • yeah, I had this thought.
    cba with warranties though :)

  • I think CUNT would do just fine.

  • Mielec thread >>>

  • I would groupbuy the shit out of them.
