NS Bikes

New for 2010.
Haven't seen any reviews of it yet. It look spretty generic.

Looks alright.

Tonics deserve a thread of their own.
In other news, what the fuck is that saddle and why don't I own it.

dicki, The NS frame I got recently is fucking lovely, it's heavy but not that heavy, feels solid as hell, and as em said, the chainstays are short, I'm running the wheel nearly slammed right forward (I can't get it all the way cos i'm running 2.3" tyres, with 2.2s it would slam.

Come to polo anytime in the next couple of weeks and you're welcome to have a spin on it. (not this weekend, in paris..)

cheers gabes
what model by the way ?

He's got the traffic.

the ns suburban 26" frame arrived yesterday
looks beautiful great paint job nice and light very impressed at first glance
will begin to buld it up over the next few weeks
what chris king headset would fit the frame ?
i am thinking a 1 1/8th ahead grip nut ?

looks nice indeed just waiting for the bits to arrive

Why do you want a grip nut dicki, threaded mountain bike forks haven't been made for years?

a grip nut is threaded as object said, is not a ahead.

wow i'm shit aren't i !!
not a clue
i need to go to mtb school to learn all about the bits ?

or maybe even a 6 month spell working at a bike shop would be the best thing for me ?

what CK would suit ?

Chrisking NoThread - The clue is in the name.

Have you got forks for the frame yet?

i thought ant was selling the ns bitch?
i kept having a look at the ad a couple of weeks ago
maybe have a talk to him?
edit: just noticed im a bit late :)

...look forward to seeing it. What forks you going for?

I've got an NS Holy, geo is perfect, and its pretty well specced for the price. Wholeheartedly reccommended :)

still in two minds re the forks
to get a good suss set it'll cost me 300-400 i was thinking maybe a rigid pair
landing gear 26" if they do them or something similar
what other options are there for a rigid disc mount fork ?

get some onzas cheap on ebay from the onza shop

Do not get Onzas they are an aluminium trials fork.

Look at something along the identiti rebates or DMRs.

If you're likely to upgrade to a suspension fork in the future I fully recommend getting a bolt through axle and hub as it will stiffen up the whole bike. Suspension fork legs pull independently and have a tendancy to snap QR or 10mm bolted axles.

Most DJ companies do a bolt through rigid to make it easier to swap between suspension and rigid without the need of having two front wheels.

Do not get Onzas they are an aluminium trials fork

yeah actually the ones they have on there at the moment are piss poor. But they do have others every week or so, not just trials forks and not just alu...
