Makino NJS Black/Gold

Personally I'm happy with size.

I know that nothing beats the look of drops, but the NJS stamped ones are way too low. Maybe I had them wrongly set up, or I'm not used to them (never had drops before) but I might try some other drops which are not that low.

But as I said, love bulls at the moment.

PM mate

seat post length to tt ratio is borderline acceptable for non compact geo...
still can appreciate the look

running a frame on the larger size of the spectrum might just be more comfortable for long hauls which im not sure the OP had in mind

light/tight and fast is what i suspect... Job well done.

Nice bike mate

Received this today. Now I'm after 19t cog (anyone?).

Black Zen 51t is on the way...

Ok, didn't take long a acquired cog aswell:

Tomorrow will put on 'Kino, can't wait.

Silver Zen...

That looks great Patrick. I'm sure those bars are comfortable but I preferred this build with drops if we're talking purely aesthetically. Silver Zen is bangin. Are you gonna switch it for the black one when it arrives?

I know, aesthetically, drops are nicest, but can't ride them...
The bullhorns look quite ugly on photo, but it's just an angle what makes them look ugly. Comfort>look.

Once the black Zen arrives, I will defo try it on!

And you're sure it's not too small?

Slightly small...

Update:

Much more aeros...

salve....

Please get rid of the red grips FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's pink, it's rad & NO!

:)

Promises, it looks good (true, not that good on pic).

without those barends it would be better, but isn't it a bit uncomfortable?

Some matt back hockey stick tape and that is perfect!

Might consider barends, it's just temporary setup (pink bars) from my beater, but kinda fell in love with it and might keep it this way. Black Nitto bar end might look good (ot silver ones?).

It's supercomfy, using padded gloves!

Without gloves it would be probably quite painfull after time...

I like the pink, and the whole bike in fact.
But the stem clamp annoys me, the way the gap in the clamp is not vertical bugs me.
Bit anal I know, lovely otherwise.

Benotto ftw! :)

Coolest bar tape ever :)

Excellent build , corima looks rad

The Corima is on the wrong way

Oh no it isn't

Might consider barends

Wrap the Benotto plugs inside the tape. As it's non-adhesive whip it all off and start again, but stick the plugs on first and wrap the tape around it, secured with insulating tape covered by another layer of bar-tape, then finish the bars. You end up with a really crisp finish that doesn't make the plugs look as tacked on as they do now.
