Nagasawaaaaaaaaaaaa

If you have yellow tyres you need all yellow contact points too. Then it would be totally sweet.

It does seem kind of a shame when you got that whole group to have such unclassic tyres but I'm sure you could just put on something a bit more subdued and that you can actually ride rather than really splashing out if you can't find any cheap Soyo?

that sentence definitely needs more punctuation but I can't figure out where to put it

It is beyond salvaging.

I just threw a few commas in randomly.

This ^

Don't worry folks, they're not glued on yet, I was just testing the water with them.
They actually look a lot more subtle in the flesh.
They are definitely the Achilles heel of this build, and also the only really non-NJS item.
I just really wanted to get this on the road.
Give it a week or so and you gumwall perverts can indulge incessantly....

Straight from porn into anti mate.

Soyos and you're straight into shangri la, though after you've put on the strong v's.

Leave the tyres as they are, it's you bike, if you like them that's all that matters.

Leaving the contentious issue aside - its stunning, well done fella. Just looks so damn nippy.

Re tyres: Not sure if genuine build or master troll.

Oh and don't get me wrong. This build will be flawless when right tyres are on. It's an insane build. Major $$$ has gone into this.

just pinged a mail to Gabe at NJS export, see if he has a pair of Soyo Gold Star

Yes. repped.

The build looks amazing, I have to say though, buys NJS tub rims to keep it legit, fits yellow Italian tubs... Some sort of meme is there.

Put black Strong V's on last night... Bye bye yellow tyres....

How much did these tyres cost? As much as my entire wheelset?

Which tyres?

Ah shit, half asleep at the end of a night shift, read that as you'd got the soyo tyres..

Neee bother brother! Gabe just messages back saying NJS Export have no tyres so il probably end up ordering some from Alex's Cycle or Track Supermarket.

I lived in Tokyo and have a couple of contacts that may be able to sort you out.

Drop me a PM and I will put you in touch with my buddies at Tempra Cycle in Setagaya-ku.

To this end, if anyone is interested in NJS frames etc and wants an alternative to NJS export, I can try hook you up.

PM me.

...well?

well what?!

ooohhhh - strong V's are on and looking sweet........

Well, have you actually made this frame justice by not putting on gash tyres for instance?
