+1 whats wrong with long dropouts?

Everything if you want to run a smallish sprocket, not have a long wheelbase and take the wheel off without breaking the chain.

They are to allow them to decide later whether running the tyre close to the seat tube is a good plan (like nearly every TT bike since the first Cervelo) or whether a bigger gap is desirable (like the new Look 596, and, I noticed, quite a few bikes at the last World track championships)

I believe Bianchi used these integrated headsets from 1940's to 1969. It was a real pain to replace the headset bearings on this Bianchi Pista restoration as the ball bearings were difficult to aligned.....but the finished product looks nice and is a very functional, rigid headset.

more NJS lush

Fuck me, that is immense!

not really, it looks about a 54cm

not a stickler for keeping kerin bikes strictly japanese, but it s a weird mix of campy and japanese bits

Looks like it could be C Record, and there was a NJS C Record groupset.

im pretty sure campag are the only brand from outside japan to have ever carried an njs stamp

anti, in soooooooooo many ways

I thought the katana frames were njs/some of them, also, didn't someone say that orlowoski (not sure if that's how you spell his name, but you know what i mean) got an njs approvement for some of his frames. AND...someone else said that the new steel langsters are njs approved etc etc.

sorry i meant component brands not frame builders !

what does it matter unless you are racing in japan so that people can bet on you?
