Vivalo NJS Dark blue silver flake ----> turned to yellow Bridgestone

edit: Project change on page 2!!

Just ordered this frame. Pretty excited as this is my first steel project. Looking forward to building/riding it. Any reccomendations are welcome but this won't be your standard NJS built. I have some American classic 420 wheels that i plan on painting black. also a Hed3 trispoke and a Corima four spoke rear.. we'll see how things go.

Looking for compatible crankset, if you have anything let me know.

Nice frame! Sounds like an interesting project. Subscribed

Don't paint the wheels. That is a mad thing to do.

Nice frame

Why not? I did it before with the same wheels. Here is the rear on @Tp88 bike after i sold them

I would recommend getting used dura ace 7600 crankset cause their resale value stays more or less the same.

About printing wheels, how long do you think that paint is gonna last on those wheels?

this thing is begging for some shamals!!!

Mm shamals yes please.. But i will need to sell the AC first..

there are a good few <£40 sugino 75 cranksets on ebay atm. search mic crankset possibly
edit: I meant flipping knock offs ffs

Link it

none of those are sugino 75s?

@ZenithE probably meant 'lookalike':

Sugino-Modeled

I'm sure @panic won't ruin this built by putting such shit non-authentic cranks on it.

Ontopic: Lovely frame! You're off to a good start. Beautiful sparkle is beautiful.

:) i will probably go for the dura ace, i prefer the looks. Also need help on the saddle.
Options so far are:)
Stripped slr
Selle smp composite (no way i'm putting that on :) very comfy though)
Kashimax aero ( i like the small bump on the back and i will cover it with alcantara leather. I did it on an slr once and came out great)

@PHRESHSLAYTE has a kashimax aero for sale at the moment, Brand new

Saddle sold :(

But i think i prefer a black one anw. I have a cheap white one at home i will see how that looks and then decide

oh no.. didnt see that it got sold already :(

so umm, how much do you think i should pay for this?

i paid at least £170 for my one if i remember correctly

nah, i've found a dura ace crankset. the shimano olympic was/is for the something extra :)

shimano olympic rings are only cool in big sizes anyway...

Frame arrived. I will take some pics tomorrow. Paint is a bit rough, will need a good polish. A bit unsure on the color as well now i see it up close, looks too dark. Anw i can always repaint.. Ordered some parts as well
