Probably us old gits should leave the HHSB thread alone (although my Dolan 'the cannibal' made it here once). I guess the question is whether to get a custom that really fits or an OTP which is always a compromise, I have both.

Isn't your makino quite a new one though? 2007? You could get an older NJS frame and more in the style of that dos for cheaper probably. Also i know what i'd rather own out of that and yours.
yeh it is 2007, the ding is really not-visible, at the bottom side of the toptube, and it has fillet brazed aero seatstays, which might probably raise the price, dunno.

No, it is just another boring, build by number, red, NJS build.

@indra new(ish) supreme spin off. wont be long now...

It works out at about £800 quid. Very expensive in my book, considering you could get something custom for about £200 more.
Still, on the plus side it's by far the nicest frame they've produced so far, even if it is a lot like a lot of other stuff out there.
They've at least gone to the effort of Panto'ing the fork crowns etc which look pretty cool.
Certainly no one should buy one without seeing it built up first though.Its not cheap but its certainly not expensive for a handmade frame in columbus spirit, whether you could get a better frame for less is a totally different argument though

^Again, seen worse, at least the saddle and bars are level. The bars are also miles too high for a lo-pro. If this is a custom build the owner should have specced it with a much shorter head tube to lower the bars. If the seat tube is supposed to follow the curve of the wheel, perhaps it should....
Look, I'm not a Mielec hater, but if you have a custom made it should fit you. That's why picking up the phone makes sense, why pay the same money for a lesser frame?
why bother getting a frame that fit's if all they do is ride to the coffee shop and pose around a bit around the city square? I doubt they be training or audaxin on these babies :D

@clockwork_killa it's said that not all tubes of 290 are columbus spirit...

Ah well that makes a big difference, maybe its a bit on the pricey side then.

Yeah but you have to actually pick up the phone and ring him! Can you imagine that? Picking up the phone? Not contacting somebody over the interwebz? Whats next meeting people face to face! Fuck dat!

I hope Steve Goff never reads this thread or his prices are going to skyrocket.
Not that anyone will know, because they'd have to ring him for a quote.

Did anyone else know Samson aren't building anymore? I was looking at the list of njs builders and I noticed Samson wasn't there, so I checked it out and found the official notice and and a couple of blogs, apparently the guy's just quit building.
